Trimmed a few bottom leaves to keep them off the grow medium. The difference is huge between the plants..... 6 days must have been affected also by more side roots compared to the tap root poking out. I thought it best to let the roots develop in the hydro garden

Well its been a busy 11 days I totally revised my flower tent moved things around made it more efficient cleaned my trays from tray2grows from autopot took cuts of each pheno which is 2 infected minds testers and the other 3 donut shops trained them out a bit and flipping too flower tonight well basically tomorrow

Finally moved into tent! Still noticing some weird discoloration/ shriveling and dying of lower leaves. Thinking it could be a ph issue going to start aiming for 6.3-4 Also had a little bit of a crazy fungus knat bloom so maybe they could be affecting my root zone more then i realize going to spray them with some more neem oil and see how they do Need to transplant into 2 gal

Flush - 5 day dry-back straight into harvest / Skunky

This one is a wrap… Hang Dry for as long as possible and well be testing later 🚀🚀🚀 GHL

Welcome growfessors to the harvest of Mandarin dreams pheno 2. She's typical light, airy fluffy buds. Wet trim and then vacuum sealed and into the freezer. Experimenting with this strain, freezing before turning into bubble hash. Will update with some sort of weight in the future.

Hi liebe Community and Welcome Back! 💚🌱 Ersteinmal beschreiben ich eine erstmals aufgetretene Problematikbin der zweiten Blütewoche. Die Pflanze hat Lichtstress! Das liegt an der Überleitung aus dem Wachstumszelt in das Blütezelt. Mann kann es gut an den sich nach oben kreuselnten Blättern erkennen. Die Pflanze will sich vor Austrocknung schützen. Zuvor war die Pflanze einem PPfD von 280 ausgesetzt und ist nun direkt in die 830 PPfD Beleuchtung ohne Abstufung gekommen. Normalerweise erhöhe ich den PPfD über einen zwei Wochenrythmus von Stufe zu Stufe. Ist aber aufgrund der anderen Pflanzen in der Blüte aktuell nicht möglich gewesen. Sie wächst dennoch gut weiter und hat nochmal etwas an Höhe dazu gewonnen. Außerdem habe ich die unteren Triebe etwas gesäubert und nochmal etwas Blattwerk raus genommen. Ihr Wuchsverhalten ist bis jetzt sehr Indica orientiert. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind aktuell zu hoch für das Stadium: ————— 🌞 Temp: 27 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 49% VPD: 1,42 kPa 🏜️ 💡ppfd: 830 mpm ————— Viele Grüße 👋

🚂 Cash Express – Pheno A Week 8 | Small Plant, Serious Flower Power Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 If this is your first visit to the diary, welcome! This project brings twelve different cultivars together under the same environment, lighting, irrigation and nutrition. By keeping the growing conditions as consistent as possible, we give genetics the opportunity to become the real variable. And that's exactly what makes this adventure so fascinating. Even when plants share the same room, the same nutrients and the same schedule, they can tell completely different stories. Cash Express Pheno A has certainly chosen her own story. Growing under a strict 12/12 light schedule from seed, beneath the Future of Grow Black Series LED and with her roots connected to the AutoPot system, she has always been one of the smaller plants in the room. But as we've already learned... Small doesn't mean insignificant. In fact, this week she's looking more and more like a little powerhouse preparing to show us exactly what she can do. 🌱 A Quick Recap — How Did We Get Here? The 8×8 Adventure is based around a simple but fascinating concept: twelve different cultivars growing together, under essentially the same conditions, from seed. There are no separate environments designed to favour one particular genetic. They're all sharing the same room. The same light cycle. The same irrigation philosophy. The same nutrient programme. And that's where the fun begins. Cash Express Pheno A started her life under a 12/12-from-seed approach. For anyone new to the diary, this means she wasn't given a traditional vegetative period followed by a later switch to flowering. Instead, she has experienced a 12-hour light / 12-hour dark cycle from the beginning. This allows us to observe how different genetics naturally develop when they're given a limited photoperiod rather than an extended vegetative stage. And Cash Express has responded by becoming a compact, beautifully structured plant. She may not have the height of some of her sisters... …but she has developed plenty of character. 🌸 Week 8 — She's Ready to Perform This week, the biggest impression comes from one thing: She looks lush. The foliage is carrying a beautiful, rich green, and the overall plant looks incredibly alive. There are some differences visible in individual leaves, including some colour variation, but when I step back and look at the plant as a whole, I'm extremely happy with what I'm seeing. The flowers are developing. The leaves are supporting that development. The plant looks vigorous. And most importantly, she looks like a plant that is comfortable with where she is right now. The flowering sites are becoming increasingly defined, and those long white pistils are absolutely everywhere. They're reaching outward from the flowers like tiny fireworks. And behind them, we're beginning to see the real structure of the buds developing. This is the stage where looking at the plant every few days becomes incredibly rewarding. Because suddenly... what started as little white hairs is becoming a flower. ? The White Hairs Are Taking Over One of my favourite things about photographing Cash Express this week has been watching the pistils. There are so many of them. The flowers are throwing out fresh white hairs in every direction, and they're becoming increasingly prominent against the darker foliage. When you look closely, you can also see the beginning of resin development around the sugar leaves. It's still early enough that the flowers have plenty of work ahead of them, but we're definitely past the stage of wondering whether she's going to flower. She's flowering. And she's doing it with confidence. The coming weeks should be particularly interesting because the plant now has the basic flower structure established. From here, the question becomes: How much weight and density can this little lady put behind those flowers? That's what I'm watching. 💚 Small Plant… Lush Plant I know I've said it before, but this phenotype keeps proving the point. Height doesn't tell the whole story. At around 72 cm, Cash Express Pheno A remains one of the more compact plants in the 8×8 Adventure. But visually? She carries herself beautifully. Her branches have created a very manageable structure, and the flowering sites are distributed throughout the plant in a way that makes her extremely interesting to photograph. She's not trying to dominate the room. She's simply doing her thing. And right now, she's doing it very well. There's something particularly satisfying about seeing a smaller plant suddenly become so full of life. She's compact. She's green. She's flowering. And she's looking hungry enough to tell me: "Don't you dare slow me down now." 😂 ⚗️ Feeding — When the Plants Ask, We Listen This week we made another small increase to the nutrient programme. And yes... We're already above the manufacturer's chart in some aspects of the feeding schedule. Normally, charts are an excellent starting point. But plants don't read charts. Plants tell us what they need. And these girls have been asking for more. So we're responding. For Cash Express Pheno A, this week's feeding included: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L pH adjustment products as required Compared with last week, Terra Bloom has been increased slightly, from 2 ml/L to 2.2 ml/L. It's not a dramatic jump. It's a controlled adjustment based on what we're seeing across the room. And Cash Express certainly doesn't look like she's complaining. Quite the opposite. She looks lush, healthy and ready to put that nutrition to work. The AutoPot system continues allowing the plants to take up solution according to their own demand, with approximately 1.2 litres per plant per 24 hours recorded this week. So, as always, we're watching the plants rather than blindly chasing numbers. If they ask... We listen. ? Those Purple Stems — Yes, They're There Now let's talk about something visible in the photographs. Some of the petioles and stems are showing a noticeable reddish/purple coloration. It's definitely there. And whenever I see something like this, I prefer to document it rather than simply ignore it. At the same time, I don't want to automatically label every purple stem as a deficiency or a problem. Genetics can influence pigmentation significantly, and environmental factors can contribute as well. What matters to me is the whole-plant picture. And that picture currently looks very positive. The foliage is lush. The flowers are developing strongly. The plant is producing plenty of fresh pistils. The flowers are showing resin development. There isn't a widespread pattern across the plant that makes me think she's struggling. So for now, I'm doing what I always prefer to do: Observe rather than panic. The purple coloration is part of the story, so we'll keep watching it. If the plant continues looking this happy, producing flowers and maintaining healthy new growth, I'm certainly not going to start changing things simply because one characteristic caught my eye. Sometimes the plant is simply showing us who she is. And Cash Express may just have a little purple personality hiding underneath all that green. 🌡️ Environment The room continues providing a stable environment for all twelve plants to develop together. This week's recorded conditions were: 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% 🥥 Root zone temperature: 21°C 💦 Nutrient solution temperature: 22°C ⚗️ pH: 5.8–6 range recorded ⚡ EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌱 Plant height: 72 cm 💧 Water consumption: approximately 1.2 L/plant/24h Once again, consistency is allowing us to compare these plants in a very interesting way. They're living the same life... …but they're certainly not telling the same story. 🌿 No Rush — Just Reading the Room One thing I really enjoy about this project is that we're not forcing every plant into exactly the same schedule just because a calendar says it's time. Training, cleaning and defoliation are tools. They're not appointments. If a particular plant needs attention because its structure is becoming too dense, we respond. If another plant is perfectly balanced and doesn't need anything... we leave her alone. That's the philosophy I've been following throughout the 8×8 Adventure. The room itself tells us when intervention makes sense. And Cash Express Pheno A continues to show a structure that doesn't need us to overcomplicate things. She has already received her LST during the earlier stages of the grow, which helped create the framework we're now watching develop. At this stage, the priority is increasingly simple: let the flowers develop. 📸 Behind the Lens This week might be one of my favourite photographic updates for Cash Express so far. The macro photographs really show the contrast between her darker foliage and those bright, almost luminous pistils. The flowers are beginning to look increasingly complex. You can see the developing sugar leaves. You can see the resin beginning to build. You can see the individual flower structures becoming more defined. And then there are those beautiful reddish tones running through some of the stems and petioles. Photography has a funny way of making you notice things you might otherwise overlook. You can stand in front of the plant and simply think: "Wow, she's looking good." Then you put the macro lens on... …and suddenly you're discovering an entire little world. That's one of my favourite parts of this project. We're not just growing these plants. We're documenting them. 🔮 Looking Ahead — What I Expect… and What I Don't The next week should be particularly interesting. 🌸 What I expect: I expect the flowering sites to continue swelling and becoming more defined. I expect the white pistils to remain extremely prominent while the flowers continue building structure. I expect resin production to become increasingly visible. And I expect this compact little plant to continue proving that she doesn't need much height to make an impression. 🌱 What I don't expect: I don't expect her to suddenly become the tallest plant in the room. That's simply not her personality. I don't expect us to force her into a particular shape just because another phenotype behaves differently. And I don't expect us to make unnecessary changes while she's telling us that she's happy. For now, the plan is simple: keep watching, keep feeding according to her response, keep the environment stable, and let Cash Express do what Cash Express does. She's earned the opportunity to show us what she's capable of. And I'm very curious to find out. 🚂 Small Plant. Big Personality. Eight weeks from seed. Around 72 centimetres tall. Surrounded by plants that could easily make her look small. And yet, when I put the camera in front of her... she fills the frame. That's the beauty of genetics. One plant wants to grow tall. Another wants to grow wide. Another wants to stretch. Another wants to stay compact and quietly build flowers. Cash Express Pheno A? She's chosen the last option. And honestly... I wouldn't change a thing. She's lush. She's beautiful. She's producing flowers everywhere. And she's starting to look like she's getting ready to show us what that little frame can really produce. The next few weeks should be fun. 🚂🌸 💚 Thank You Thank you so much to everyone following along with the 8×8 Adventure. This project continues reminding me why I love growing different genetics side by side. Twelve plants. One environment. One methodology. And twelve completely different personalities. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document these journeys, share knowledge and learn from one another. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Cash Express genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover what this phenotype can do. Thank you to Plagron for providing the nutrition supporting these plants throughout their journey. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the Black Series lighting powering this adventure from seed through flowering. Thank you to AutoPot for the irrigation system that allows these plants to regulate their own demand and drink when they need it. And a special thank you to LumiFlora for the under-canopy lighting helping bring additional light into the lower areas of the plants. And finally, thank you. To everyone reading, commenting, following, sharing and simply enjoying this adventure with me — you're part of what makes documenting every week so much fun. Cash Express Pheno A may be one of the smaller girls in the room... …but she's certainly making herself heard. Growers Love, my friends. I'll see you next week as this little powerhouse continues writing her own story. 💚🚂🌱

Not too too much to report... Kind of on Auto Pilot really until the end... The broken top is FINE, and it's looking GREAT man!! I'm sure we're going to get a solid yield... :)

Very slow this week until I realised the timer was switching on for 15 minutes an hour into darkness, this has put me a couple of weeks behind schedule, should of been flushing for harvest this week instead I’ve been flushing for a couple of days to rid of nutrient lock, after 3 days of water I added just the pk and they’ve bounced back and the buds getting chunkier they’ve also needed a lot of defoliation throughout the week, 2 of the ladies are more a glue pheno in size, structure and a smell of pine, the other is a real chunky blueberry, hopefully I’ll get to the end with no more problems

End of Week 4 of Flower for the Alien OG, growing wise it is a great, easy strain to grow, no issues whatsoever to this point from seedling stage..... My best grow so far! 👍🏾

Die drei Apricot Automatic Damen entwickeln sich trotz ihres aktuell etwas gestreckten Wuchses sehr ordentlich. Das außergewöhnlich sonnige Wetter der letzten Tage hat für einen kräftigen Wachstumsschub gesorgt. Die Pflanzen zeigen ein gesundes Blattwerk mit einer frischen, hellgrünen Farbe und bilden bereits mehrere Nodien aus. Durch die starke Streckung erkennt man deutlich, dass die Apricots förmlich nach dem Sonnenlicht gejagt haben. Gleichzeitig wirken die Stängel jedoch stabil und gesund, was auf ein gutes Wurzelwachstum und eine insgesamt vitale Entwicklung schließen lässt. Besonders erfreulich ist die gleichmäßige Entwicklung aller drei Pflanzen. Trotz kleiner Unterschiede in Höhe und Struktur zeigen sie ein sehr ähnliches Wachstumsmuster. Die neuen Triebspitzen wachsen zügig nach und die ersten Seitentriebe beginnen sich auszubilden. Mit den angekündigten sommerlichen Temperaturen und vielen Sonnenstunden stehen die Chancen hervorragend, dass die Apricot Automatic in den kommenden Wochen ordentlich an Volumen zulegt und eine kompakte, gut verzweigte Struktur entwickelt. Jeden Sonntag gibt es neue Updates zu meinen aktuellen Grows auf GrowDiaries und Instagram @Mr.WeeedWorld. 🚀🌱 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The three Apricot Automatic ladies are developing very nicely despite their currently stretched structure. The exceptional sunny weather during the last days has triggered a strong growth spurt. The plants display healthy foliage with a fresh light-green color and are already producing several new nodes. The noticeable stretching shows how aggressively the plants have been reaching for sunlight. At the same time, the stems remain healthy and sturdy, indicating strong root development and overall plant vigor. It is especially encouraging to see how evenly all three plants are progressing. Despite slight differences in height and structure, they all show a very similar growth pattern. New growth is emerging quickly, and the first side branches are beginning to develop. With the forecast predicting continued summer-like temperatures and plenty of sunshine, the Apricot Automatic plants are perfectly positioned to gain significant size and develop a strong branching structure over the coming weeks. New updates about all my current grows are published every Sunday on GrowDiaries and Instagram @Mr.WeeedWorld. 🚀🌱

Today two of the plants going to stay one week without water. I cut them all leaves and we waiting for harvest. This is my first grow and now when i see those flowers i'm really dissapointed that auto they are so small. Xd Anyway better then nothing. The smell is really strong,can't wait to taste them

All the same from my diary from Thc Bomb exempting the pest ....the pest where fine on my obi-wan until I put end-all on my Thc Bomb after its 👀 liked to move into my obi-wan so obi-wan add the same little treatment with end-all For this week fertilizers I’m gonna go 1/4 of recommend strength for hydro ...I do have sign of little over fertilizer on her but I’m not worry I always been pushing my fertilizer really high when growing indoor and never add bad results , just need to know when to give them a little slack/ brakes 😉 Need theses thing gone before next week 😡 the pleasure of growing outside
