This plant was grown with Nature's Living Soil Autoflower used as a hot mix. Once in flower week 5 I top dressed with a little more NLS and then week 7 I added earthworm casting and phosphorus bat guano. So looking back this plant was small and with tight nodes in the grow phase but once the flowering phase started she stretched out nicely and made a turn around for better. After drying the buds are sticky and littered with trichomes. She came out pretty decent but I think I could do better.

Day 67: Increase in flower size phrase has been finished now they about to go into the mature phrase. I will eighter flower them for 1 or 2 weeks depending on how it goes. Might only give them water with enzymen,regulator and humic for now on, that Is basicly flushing ( ec 0.7 ). or Ill just slightly feed them( ec 1.4-1.6) for a few times before I start flushing them( ec 0.7). Again I took the pictures before doing work on them ( watering and defoliation), so they look a little sad. I did notice that many of them got burned tips, indicating that they get more nutrients then needed. It does make sence since In this week and weeks to come, they need less nutrients and having a harder time taking it. Yet they do drink everything in 1.5-2 days, so they still do like to get nutes. Thats all for this week.

So far all plants have been harvested. (3x Bubba Pupil, 1x purple wreck, 1x AK-47, 1x Godberry). The first bubba pupil and AK-47 were harvested a week and a half ago and now have been jarred for 1 week +/- a few days. All pictures are of the bubba pupil and AK. I will come back and update once the other plants have been trimmed. The first Bubba Pupil, which was the tallest of the 3 and most stretched out, yielded exactly 4.5 Oz dry weight. The smell is starting to get stronger after a week. It smells grapey but has a weird funk to it. It must be the “pupil” funk everyone talks about. This plant looked like it wasn’t going to yield much, but I was pleasantly surprised. The lowers were dense and compact which contributed to a good amount of decent sized buds. Overall, I’m pretty pleased with the yield and quality from this plant. The AK-47 seemed like it was going to be a heavier yielder, but it ended up only yielding 2.5 Oz dry. The main colas were far during flower and dense when dried, but this plant had little to no lower quality buds. Everything below the main canopy seemed like it was airy and not worth jarring up. This plant smells a little bit fruity, but I can’t really put my finger on it. Super dank smelling, not skunky, but it smells like it is going to be gaseous once it cures up a bit longer. The Godberry yielded a total of 3.25 Oz. She was the best smelling by far out of all of the girls in the tent. Super fruity and sticky as hell. The resin content on her was definitely the highest of them all. I will be back to update once the last 3 plants are trimmed and jarred for a final weight and overview.

I was doing LST, and while bending the leg, I broke it at the very stem. supported with a small bamboo so that the fracture touches, is there any chance of loss?

01/04/2022- Hello and welcome all been away on some family matter. So today was the last day this girl got watered and will also be the last day she got light as well, she will be cut down Friday morning. The smell has gotten a lot more stronger since flush was started last week Wednesday. Will update before I chop her down.

Hello growmies! Welcome to week five of An Epsilon Adventure! Massive thanks to both Shogun and Royal Queen Seeds for sponsoring this grow! The girls are all at different early flowering stages, but they are only days apart from each other. I have a bit of a quandary now though, as I am no longer following the nutrient schedule as these plants are too fast for it. So I am unsure whether to start PK warrior or not yet. I have also realised I have probably underfed them in the last week or so, which to be honest isn't a big deal for me right now as they are already waaaaaaaaaaay bigger than expected. Let's talk about that a moment. This strain has an average height of 50-70cm. I wonder if those numbers were for soil grows? It seems for coco you will get even bigger plants. Case in point these six girls measured at 3pm 24/7 day 30 as follows: Plant 1: 111cm Plant 2: 99cm Plant 3: 90cm Plant 4: 89cm Plant 5: 85cm Plant 6: 84cm Plant 3 appears to have stopped stretching and is the most advanced into flower. Plant 4 is right behind it and has slowed down but not yet stopped stretching. Plant 2 is next in terms of flowering development her stretch is slowing. Plant 5 is still stretching rapidly and is coming to the end of preflower. No concern really at 85cm she has some room yet. Plant 6 is still stretching rapidly and is still in preflower. Slightly concerned despite her 84cm stature as she has been the most beefy looking plant all along, so I am expecting her to grow a good bit more. Plant 1 is still stretching rapidly and is still in preflower. Extremely very concerned about this one. The light is about as high as it can go. 111cm!! I have scoured the internet and the tallest Epsilon F1 I have found was 95cm. It's great that she is so happy this plant, but if she gets much taller I'm going to have to super crop her main cola. Whatever happens I am starting to dream of smashing my yield target out of the park, these girls are all impressive. Hard to believe they are just 30 days old. Daily Updates: ### Week 5 Day 2 15:00 24/7 Photographed. ### Week 5 Day 2 23:30 24/7 fertigated 1.6l and updated nutrient schedule for the week ### Week 5 Day 3 20:00 25/7 took a short video ### Week 5 Day 4 05:00 26/7 photographed ### Week 5 Day 4 18:00 26/7 Measured (brace yourself). Plant 1: 126cm Plant 2: 107cm Plant 3: 93cm Plant 4: 94cm Plant 5: 97cm Plant 6: 96cm Plants 3 and 4 have stopped stretching now and are fully into flower. At 93cm and 94cm respectively, by the end of flower these girls may hit 1m but they wont go much more than that. Plant 2 looks to have just about stopped as well. It might go another 10cm overall. Plant 5 is still stretching but I think not much more. Plant 6 is still stretching and I am still expecting quite a bit of growth from her. Then there is plant 1. 126cm and still stretching. It has now grown beyond the height of the light. I hope it can somehow finish itself before it hits the top of the tent. I mean the secondary colas are over 1m already. It is a great shame this giant plant doesn't have more horizontal space to itself, either way it is absolutely shocking to see. I really do not want to super crop her, but am out of options. This grow, incidentally, constitutes the first and last time that I let any indoor cannabis plant go untrained. With basically 4 x 4 x 4 of usable space, training my plants is not really optional - and now you can all see why. This "50-70cm" strain has rapidly outgrown my space. RQS it may be time to revisit the height claims on this strain. Just saying. ### Week 5 Day 6 01:00 28/7 Rearranged the tent and photographed. I have been regularly rotating the plants and periodically moving them around. My problem is now plant one has already hit the top of the tent and there is no easy way to give it anymore space... still not sure what I am supposed to do but it's fine for now... tried to capture the problem with the photos. As well as plant 1, plant 6 looks like it's going to keep going for a good bit yet, and plant 2 is still putting a bit of height on. I took plenty of photos today to try and capture the essence of the jungle. It is quite unbelievable what these plants have done. I just cannot stop looking at them, they are magnificent. I have not fed for 4 days, will probably feed later I am just trying to slow them down a bit by not feeding them. It doesn't seem to be working. ### Week 5 Day 6 23:00 28/7 Defoliated heavily all plants. Fertigated 2l each. Removed some more lower side growth off the smallest plant (plant 3) to make space. Might leave it a few days before I photograph again. Plants 2, 3, and 4 are all well into flowering now, plant 5 is not far behind them, but plants 1 and 6 are still in preflower. :( What is really remarkable right now is the difference in colour between the plants further into flower vs the plants still in preflower. The plants in flowering have much darker leaves. --- Thanks for reading growmies! 👊 ========== Tent: 120cm x 120cm x 180cm Light: 600w HID Elite Dual Spectrum HPS + Angel Wing Reflector Air: 5" duct fan system with carbon filter ~300 m3/hour + RAM 9" floor fan + 4" intake fan Pots: Air Pruner Fabric Pots 30l - UGro XL Coco + horticultural grade perlite (~20%) Seeds supplied by Royal Queen Seeds https://www.royalqueenseeds.com Nutrients supplied by Shogun Fertilisers https://www.shogunfertilisers.com/en ==========

🚂 Cash Express – Pheno B Week 10 | Let This Beautiful Girl Shine 🌿🌸💡 Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 And once again... Cash Express Pheno B is simply doing her thing. No drama. No complaints. No unnecessary changes. Just growing. Beautifully. At her own rhythm. And honestly, the more I look at this girl, the more I appreciate what she's becoming. She's still carrying that deep, lush green through her leaves, and the flowering sites are becoming increasingly defined. The buds are developing beautifully. The hairs are becoming more abundant. The structure is becoming easier to read. And she's starting to look like exactly what she has been telling us she wanted to become all along. A beautiful, vigorous Cash Express phenotype with a personality entirely her own. So this week... we're not here to reinvent her. We're here to appreciate her. We're here to look at what she's doing. And we're definitely going to give her the spotlight she deserves. 🚂🌿🌸🔥 🌱 Week 10 – Still Doing Her Thing Cash Express Pheno B is now around 93 cm tall. And compared with her sister, that difference continues to be one of the interesting parts of this diary. Pheno A has her own compact character. Pheno B chose a different route. She's taller. She's more extended. She's occupying her space differently. But what's really important is that she isn't simply getting taller for the sake of getting taller. She's building. She's developing. She's creating flowering structure throughout that architecture. And now, at Week 10, that structure is becoming increasingly beautiful. She's not rushing. She's not trying to keep up with anybody else in the room. She's simply continuing along her own path. And that's something I've learned to appreciate enormously during this adventure. The plant sets the rhythm. We observe. We support. And we let her show us what she's capable of. 🌿 That Deep, Lush Green One of the first things that catches my attention this week is the foliage. That deep, lush green is absolutely beautiful. There's something very satisfying about seeing a plant carrying that much healthy, vibrant foliage while simultaneously developing her flowers. The leaves aren't just background decoration. They're the working machinery of the plant. They're capturing light. They're processing photons. They're driving photosynthesis. And ultimately, they're helping provide the energy that supports everything we're seeing happen throughout the plant. So when I look at this beautiful green canopy, I'm not just seeing colour. I'm seeing a plant with an active photosynthetic engine. And Cash Express Pheno B is certainly keeping hers running. 🌿💚 💡 Photons – The Invisible Part of the Story This week I really want to spend some time talking about something we can't actually see. Photons. We can see the LEDs. We can see the leaves. We can see the flowers. But we can't see the individual photons moving through the room. And yet they're involved in almost everything we're documenting. Every day, the Future of Grow Black Series LEDs are creating our artificial sun. Photons leave those LEDs. They travel through the room. They reach the canopy. And when they encounter the leaves, that light becomes usable energy through photosynthesis. That's the invisible part of this entire story. When we're looking at Cash Express and admiring her green leaves, her developing flowers and her structure... we're really looking at the visible result of an enormous number of tiny interactions between the plant and the light. And that's pretty damn fascinating. 💡🌿 ☀️ Future of Grow – Bringing the Sun Indoors The Future of Grow LEDs continue to provide the primary illumination for the room. And one of the things I love about this 8×8 experiment is that we're putting twelve very different plants underneath the same artificial sun. The photons don't know which plant they're hitting. 😂 They simply arrive. The genetics decide what happens next. And that's where things become interesting. One phenotype stretches. Another stays compact. One builds a certain flower structure. Another develops differently. One plant seems to want to occupy every available centimetre. Another is perfectly happy taking her time. Same room. Same photons. Different answers. Cash Express Pheno B has clearly chosen her own answer. And I'm very happy with what she's showing us. 💡 Photons Don't Only Belong to the Top Canopy There's another part of the lighting strategy that becomes increasingly interesting as the plants develop. A flowering plant is a three-dimensional object. It's not just a flat canopy underneath a lamp. There are leaves and flowers at different heights. There are branches running through different levels. There are inner areas. Outer areas. Upper areas. Lower areas. And that's where our Lumiflora lighting becomes particularly valuable. We're bringing additional light into parts of the canopy that naturally don't receive the same exposure as the uppermost leaves. So we're not thinking only about: "How much light is hitting the top?" We're also thinking about: "Where else can useful photons go?" And that's a fascinating way to look at the room. Light is moving through the garden. Leaves are intercepting it. Some photons are absorbed. Some pass deeper into the canopy. Some reach lower foliage and flowers. And the entire structure becomes a constantly changing landscape of light. That's why canopy architecture matters so much. We're not just growing plants. We're managing a three-dimensional relationship between plants, photons and space. 💡🌿🌸 🌸 The Buds Are Starting to Tell Their Story And then... of course... we get to the flowers. This is where Cash Express Pheno B is really becoming beautiful. The buds are developing a much more recognizable structure now. Those hairs are becoming increasingly obvious. They're emerging from the flowers in abundance, giving the buds that beautiful textured appearance. And the more I look at the photographs, the more I can see the flower formation becoming defined. We're moving further away from those early flowering points and increasingly toward recognizable bud structures. There's still plenty of development ahead. But we're getting there. Slowly. Beautifully. And very much in her own style. 🌸🔥 ? Those Beautiful Hairs I have to give the pistils their own little moment this week. Because they're beautiful. The amount of fresh hairs developing throughout the flowers really catches the eye. And this is one of those characteristics that makes photographing her so enjoyable. You can see them from a distance. But get the camera closer... and suddenly there's a completely different level of detail. Little hairs emerging from the developing flowers. Individual structures becoming more defined. The flowers becoming more substantial underneath them. It's one of those moments where you realize: She's actually building something here. And she's doing it beautifully. 🌿 No Need to Fight Her Personality This girl has already told us who she is. She's vigorous. She's lush. She's taller than her sister. She's developing a different architecture. And she's moving at her own pace. So why would I try to make her something else? That's one of the lessons I keep coming back to throughout this project. Growing isn't always about imposing a plan on the plant. Sometimes it's about creating a good framework... and then listening. Cash Express Pheno B doesn't need to become Pheno A. She doesn't need to match another plant. She doesn't need to develop according to somebody else's timeline. She's writing her own story. And I'm here to document it. 📸🌿 💨 The Environment – Keeping Things Steady We're continuing to keep the room as stable as possible. Current conditions are approximately: 🌡️ Day temperature: 29.9°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 RH: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: ~639 ppm 💦 Watering: ~1.3 L/plant/24h 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌡️ Substrate temperature: 26°C 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 📏 Height: ~93 cm Summer continues to make temperature management interesting. 😂☀️ One day wants to be warmer. The next wants to be slightly cooler. But we're doing our best to keep the important parameters consistent and, most importantly, avoid unnecessary fluctuations. We're not chasing perfection. We're chasing stability. And the plants seem quite happy with that approach. ⚗️ Nutrition – Keep Doing What Works The nutritional programme remains essentially unchanged. We're continuing with: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Plagron Pure Zym – 1 ml/L pH adjustment as required The solution remains around pH 6.0 and approximately 2.0 mS/cm EC. And again... why complicate something that isn't asking to be complicated? She's green. She's developing. She's flowering. She's progressing. So we're allowing consistency to remain one of our biggest tools. 🌸 Growing Beautifully at Her Own Rhythm I think this is probably the phrase that best describes Cash Express Pheno B right now. Her own rhythm. She's not necessarily trying to be the fastest plant in the room. She's not trying to finish before everyone else. She's simply continuing to develop. And that makes the comparison between the twelve plants even more interesting. Because if every plant behaved identically, there wouldn't be much of a phenotype story to tell. Instead, we have twelve personalities. Twelve structures. Twelve relationships with the same environment. And twelve different ways of turning photons into plants. That's the real adventure. 📸 Behind the Lens – More to Discover Every Week The photographs this week really reward getting close. The wide shots show her overall structure. The canopy. The height. The distribution of flowering sites. But the close-ups tell another story. The hairs. The developing flower structure. The textures. The tiny details that become increasingly obvious as flowering progresses. This is why I love documenting the plants individually. A photograph doesn't just preserve what happened. When you build a series over many weeks, it becomes a visual timeline. You can look backward and see exactly how far the plant has travelled. And Cash Express Pheno B has certainly travelled a long way. 💡 The Garden Is Basically a Photon Playground One of the things I find fascinating about the 8×8 room is that we're essentially creating a little controlled ecosystem where light is constantly moving through the garden. The Future of Grow LEDs provide the main source. Lumiflora adds another dimension. The leaves intercept photons. The canopy changes. The plants grow into the available space. And as they grow, they change the way the light moves. So the lighting environment isn't completely static. The plants themselves become part of the lighting system. A leaf can intercept light that would otherwise reach a flower. Another leaf may reflect or transmit some light deeper into the canopy. A branch can change the shadow underneath it. And then we have additional lighting helping illuminate some of those less-exposed areas. It's a constantly evolving relationship. And that's one of the reasons I'm enjoying documenting this run so much. We're not just watching plants grow. We're watching an entire environment evolve with them. 🌿💡🌸 🔮 Looking Ahead For now, the plan remains beautifully simple. Keep observing. Keep the environment steady. Keep the irrigation consistent. Keep nutrition consistent. Keep the photons coming. And let Cash Express Pheno B continue doing what she does. Over the next week, I'll be watching: 🌸 Continued bud formation ? Further pistil development 💎 Increasing resin production 🌿 Healthy, lush foliage 💡 How the developing canopy interacts with the light 💨 Good airflow throughout the structure 📈 Increasing flower density and definition No need to force anything. She's already on her way. 💭 Final Thoughts – Let's Give Her the Spotlight Cash Express Pheno B is becoming one of those plants that gets more interesting every time I look at her. She's tall. She's lush. She's carrying that beautiful deep green. Her buds are developing. Her hairs are becoming beautifully defined. And her structure is increasingly telling us exactly what kind of phenotype she is. She's different from her sister. She's different from the other girls. And that's exactly why she deserves her own diary. The photons are doing their part. The Future of Grow LEDs are providing the artificial sun. Lumiflora is helping us bring that light deeper into the canopy. The environment is being kept as stable as summer allows. The nutrition remains consistent. And Cash Express? She's taking everything we've given her... and turning it into her story. Slowly. Beautifully. Naturally. And I wouldn't change that. So this week, there's no dramatic intervention. No big announcement. No attempt to force her into another shape. Just appreciation. Because sometimes the best thing you can do for a beautiful plant is simply step back... look at her... and say: "Keep doing exactly what you're doing." 🚂🌿🌸💡🔥 Cash Express Pheno B... this spotlight is yours. Let's keep those photons flying. Let's keep watching those flowers develop. And let's see where your own little story takes us next. 🙏 Thank You As always, a huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the opportunity to explore these genetics and, most importantly, to see just how differently individual phenotypes can express themselves. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden with the growing media and nutrition throughout this journey. Thank you to Future of Grow for providing the Black Series LEDs powering our artificial sun and filling this room with the photons these girls need to do their thing. 💡🌱 And a special thank you to Lumiflora for helping us bring additional light into the inner and lower parts of the canopy and allowing us to explore just how much more interesting lighting becomes when we stop thinking only about the top of the plant. And of course... thank you to everyone following along on GrowDiaries. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person stopping by to see how the girls are doing. You're all part of this adventure. Twelve plants. One room. One environment. One artificial sun. And twelve completely different stories. And this particular story? It's Cash Express Pheno B. She's beautiful. She's lush. She's developing. She's doing it her own way. So let's give her what she deserves. The spotlight. 🌸💡 Until next week... Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 🌱💚 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle. 🌿🚂🔥

Frosty’s purple freak is on week:9 from seed the white pistols are starting to turn brown with some new ones emerging while covered in frosty thrichomes

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B | Week 1 Flower | Grace in Every Stretch Some phenotypes command attention through explosive growth. Others quietly impress by doing everything right. Black Diamond Auto Pheno B belongs firmly in the second category. As she enters her first week of flowering, she continues to display remarkable balance, combining vigorous vertical growth with an elegant, open structure that allows every developing flower site to breathe and receive excellent light. While her sister has become one of the stars of the room, Pheno B is proving that consistency can be just as exciting. One of the greatest joys of growing multiple phenotypes is watching identical genetics express themselves in unique ways. Every plant in this project shares the same environment, nutrition, lighting, and training techniques, yet each develops its own architecture and personality. This grow also continues my favourite challenge: 12/12 From Seed. From the moment each seedling emerged, they have grown under a flowering light cycle, allowing every phenotype to reveal its natural strategy for stretch, structure, and flower production without an extended vegetative period. Week by week, Black Diamond Pheno B is proving just how well this technique can work. 🌱 Environment Another stable week inside the flowering room has allowed the plant to focus entirely on healthy development. 🌡️ Day Temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative Humidity: 60% 🥤 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 21°C 🌱 Root Zone Temperature: 21°C ☀️ Light Schedule: 12/12 🌬️ CO₂: 636 ppm I've always believed that consistency wins over perfection. Stable temperatures, healthy root conditions, reliable irrigation, and continuous airflow allow the plant to dedicate its energy to growth rather than constantly adapting to changing environmental conditions. That stability continues to pay dividends. 🌿 Training & Canopy Management The training philosophy remains exactly the same. Gentle Low Stress Training continues shaping the canopy while regular leaf tucking helps expose developing flowering sites without removing healthy foliage. No defoliation has been necessary. Instead of taking leaves away, I simply reposition the larger fan leaves whenever they begin shading future bud sites. This keeps the canopy open while allowing every healthy leaf to continue acting as a solar panel, producing the energy the plant will soon need for building flowers. Sometimes the smallest adjustments create the biggest long-term results. 🌾 Feeding Program As flowering becomes established, the nutrition program continues supporting both the final stretch and the beginning of flower development. Current feeding includes: • Plagron Terra Bloom — supplying phosphorus and potassium as flower production accelerates. • Plagron Power Buds — supporting the hormonal transition into flowering and encouraging the formation of additional bud sites. • Plagron Sugar Royal — promoting terpene and resin development from the earliest flowering stages. • Plagron Pure Zym — improving nutrient availability by breaking down old organic material around the root zone. • Plagron Green Sensation — introducing a balanced flowering stimulant to support early bud formation while preparing the plant for the weeks ahead. The feeding program remains well balanced, with healthy dark-green foliage, vigorous growth, and no visible signs of nutrient stress. When a plant looks this comfortable, there's little reason to change what's already working. 💎 Phenotype Spotlight Black Diamond Pheno B has developed into one of the most elegant plants in the entire room. Now standing around 120 cm, she has become one of the tallest phenotypes in the project, stretching confidently while maintaining excellent structural balance. Her internodal spacing is slightly more open than some of the other plants, creating a naturally airy canopy that should become a real advantage later in flowering by improving both airflow and light penetration. Fresh white pistils are appearing across every branch, and flower sites are forming consistently from the lower nodes all the way to the main apex. Rather than rushing to produce dense flowers immediately, she seems focused on building a long, evenly spaced framework that promises multiple productive colas over the coming weeks. What stands out most is how effortless her growth appears. Despite her height, the stem remains thick and sturdy, the branches are well positioned, and every part of the plant feels balanced. She has responded beautifully to gentle LST, opening naturally without ever showing signs of stress. One thing has become increasingly clear throughout this project: Zamnesia's Black Diamond genetics are proving remarkably stable. Standing beside her sister, the similarities are impossible to ignore. Both phenotypes share outstanding vigor, beautiful structure, and excellent health, while still expressing enough individuality to make documenting each one worthwhile. Sometimes the best genetics don't create identical plants—they create consistently exceptional ones. 🔭 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect the flowering stretch to begin slowing as more energy shifts toward flower production. The small clusters already forming along every branch should start connecting together, gradually transforming this elegant framework into long, well-defined colas. Gentle leaf tucking will continue helping maintain an even canopy while preserving every healthy fan leaf that contributes to photosynthesis. If she continues developing at this pace, she's well on her way to becoming one of the standout performers in the room. The framework is complete. The roots are thriving. Now it's time for the flowers to take over. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for providing these fantastic Black Diamond genetics, and to Plagron for the nutrient line that continues supporting every stage of this journey. I'd also like to thank the incredible GrowDiaries community for following these phenotype journals week after week. Your encouragement, questions, and shared passion are what make documenting each individual plant such a rewarding experience. Watching sisters grow side by side while expressing their own unique personalities is one of the greatest pleasures of every grow. Until next week... Growers love and Happy Growing! 🌱💚

Really light hairs. Smells really sweet with a little kick and a great way of double toping

The fimming does what I wished. The single headbud, „twin‘ed“ into 3 headbuds. The fimming also stops the vegetation, but most times luckily only the node of the headbud! Then does the twinheadbuds build a roof-crown with the other nodes.

🌱 : Partial harvest on day 80 💧 : Flush with 5l H2O on Day 80, 4l 💡 : Dli: 45 mol/m²/d 🤔 :

Week 7 begins for Mandarin dreams. Both ladies are looking good and healthy, bud sites continue to bulk up and frost up. The shirt smell from MD1 has gone away, it's current smell is a bit earthy. Switched out big bud coco for overdrive as we approach the end of the grow. Thanks for checking in, tune in next week! 👽🌳🔥

🚂 8×8 Adventure – Week 12 🌸 Cash Express – Pheno A 💨 She's Moving Fast — And Now She's Starting To Talk Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And Cash Express Pheno A... Well... She's moving. And she's moving FAST. 😂🚂💨 Last week we talked about letting the plants do their thing. This week? Cash Express seems to have taken that as a personal challenge. Because she's definitely doing her thing. She's developing. She's progressing. She's putting on flowers. She's changing. And now... she's starting to smell. A LOT. 👃🌸😂 And that's when you really start paying attention. Because there is something special about reaching the stage where the plant doesn't just look like it's flowering... you can actually start experiencing the flowering process with another sense. The aroma is becoming part of her story. And I'm very curious to see where this girl is going. ──────────────────────── 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure — Same Room, Different Stories For anyone discovering this diary now, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. This project is all about putting different genetics and phenotypes into the same general environment and allowing each one to show us what she naturally wants to become. Twelve plants. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. One room. One 12/12 lighting strategy. One irrigation system. One general nutritional approach. One lighting ecosystem. One grower. And somehow... twelve completely different stories. That's what makes this project so much fun. Because even when the environment is shared, the plants don't read the same script. Some are compact. Some are tall. Some are incredibly frosty. Some develop unusual structures. Some move slowly. And some... like Cash Express Pheno A... suddenly decide: "Right. Let's get moving." 😂🚂💨 And she's certainly moving now. ──────────────────────── 🚂 She's Picking Up Speed This week, the biggest thing I'm noticing is simply progression. She's moving quickly. The flowers are becoming more established. The plant is changing noticeably. And the whole structure is beginning to look increasingly like a proper late-flowering plant rather than a plant that's still deciding what she wants to become. There's momentum. And I really like seeing that. Because this is the stage where the plants start revealing more of their final personality. Earlier in the cycle, we were mostly watching architecture. Stretch. Branches. Canopy. Training. Structure. Now? The flowers are becoming the main event. And Cash Express is starting to put some serious effort into that part of the story. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Maybe Not The Prettiest Girl... I'm going to be honest. 😂 She may not be the prettiest girl in the room. And that's okay. Beauty is subjective. And when you've got twelve different plants sitting beside each other, there are always going to be some that immediately grab your attention more than others. Cash Express Pheno A isn't necessarily the girl that makes you stop from across the room and say: "OH MY GOD!" 😂 But then you look closer. And you start seeing her. Her structure. Her flowers. Her individuality. Her little peculiarities. And suddenly you realize: She's got charm. She's got character. She's got her own kind of beauty. And that's actually something I really appreciate. Because not every phenotype needs to be conventionally beautiful to be fascinating. Sometimes the unusual ones are the ones you remember. And Cash Express is definitely becoming memorable. ──────────────────────── ✨ Beauty Is Not Always About Perfection That's one of the things this entire project keeps teaching me. If I judged every plant purely by appearance... I'd miss half the story. Some plants are extremely symmetrical. Some are incredibly frosty. Some have perfect-looking flowers. Some have crazy structures. Some are compact. Some are stretched. Some are simply... different. And Cash Express Pheno A falls into that last category for me. She's not necessarily the picture-perfect princess of the tent. But she's interesting. She's unique. She's developing quickly. And now she's giving us something else to pay attention to: her aroma. And honestly? I'll take interesting over predictable any day. 😂🚂🌸 ──────────────────────── 👃 Oh... Now She's Starting To Smell This is the part that has really caught my attention. She's starting to smell. And not just: "Maybe if I put my nose close enough..." No. She's starting to make herself known. 😂👃💨 The aroma is becoming noticeable enough that I find myself paying attention whenever I'm around her. And that's exciting. Because aroma development is another piece of the phenotype puzzle. The visual appearance tells us one thing. The structure tells us another. The flowering speed tells us another. And then the plant starts telling us something through its aroma. Now I'm curious. What is she going to smell like as she continues developing? How much stronger will that expression become? What kind of character is going to come through? And where is all of this going? I don't know. But I'm very interested in finding out. ──────────────────────── 💡 Still Under The Same Lighting Experiment And just like everyone else in the 8×8, Cash Express Pheno A is still experiencing the upgraded lighting environment. Future of Grow supplied us with two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for this experiment. The additional fixtures initially pushed the available PPFD higher than we wanted. So we brought the output down. We're currently running around: 🔌 59% power from the plug with approximately: ☀️ 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And Cash Express is right there underneath all those photons. She's not receiving a special lighting treatment. She's not getting a secret little VIP setting. She's getting the same general room environment as the other girls. And yet... look at how differently she's expressing herself. That's the fun. Same light. Different plant. Different response. ──────────────────────── ☀️ Photons In — Cash Express Out This is one of my favourite parts of the experiment. We provide the photons. The plant decides what to do with them. And Cash Express seems to have decided: "I'm going to turn these into flowers... and then I'm going to make the whole room smell." 😂💨🌸 Fair enough. That's a pretty good use of photons. The upper canopy is receiving strong light. The lower portions naturally receive less depending on plant height and structure. And the plant itself decides how to position its leaves and flowers within that three-dimensional environment. We're not trying to force every plant into exactly the same shape. We're watching how each phenotype uses the space. And Cash Express is certainly using hers. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Nutrition — A Small Step Back For The Whole Room The nutritional program has also been adjusted slightly this week across the entire room. Terra Bloom has been reduced from: 🌸 2.3 ml/L to: 🌸 2.0 ml/L This brought the EC down slightly to: ⚡ ~2.05 mS/cm The rest of the current recipe remains: 🌱 Pure Zym — 1 ml/L 🌿 Power Buds — 1 ml/L 🍯 Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L 🍋 Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L 🌸 Terra Bloom — 2.0 ml/L Again, this is a room-wide adjustment. We're not trying to micromanage every plant individually. We're allowing the whole room to progress together while watching how each phenotype responds. And Cash Express? She's moving beautifully. ──────────────────────── 💧 Still Providing — Still Watching The current irrigation is around: 💧 1.4 L per plant / 24 hours And the rest of the room remains under the same general environmental strategy. We're not making dramatic changes. We're not trying to force her into another stage. We're simply continuing to provide consistency. Because at this point... the plants are doing most of the work. Our job is becoming increasingly simple. Observe. Maintain. Provide. Document. And let them finish their stories. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Week 12 – Current Room Conditions The current room conditions are approximately: 🌸 Flowering: Week 12 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD: ~1,500 🔌 Future of Grow Black Series output: ~59% from the plug 🌡️ Day temperature: ~27°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~25°C 💧 Relative humidity: ~60% ⚗️ pH: ~6.04 ⚡ EC: ~2.05 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: ~25.2°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~26°C 🌬️ CO₂: ~693 ppm 🌱 Pot size: 15 L 💦 Irrigation: ~1.4 L/plant/24h Same room. Same environment. Same general nutrition. Same lighting philosophy. Same irrigation. Different Cash Express. And she's certainly giving us something to watch. ──────────────────────── 🌿 The Plant Doesn't Need Us To Make Her Interesting This is another thing I really like about this stage. We're not doing anything special to make Cash Express interesting. She's doing that herself. We're not training her into some crazy shape. We're not manipulating her to create a particular appearance. We're not forcing her to behave differently. She's simply progressing naturally. And the more she develops... the more personality becomes visible. That's exactly what I wanted from the 8×8 Adventure. I wanted to see what these individual phenotypes would do when given the same general opportunity. Cash Express is giving us her answer. And I like the answer. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Flowers Are Becoming Serious The flowering structure continues developing. The flowers are becoming more substantial. The plant is clearly moving forward. And this is the part where I start getting excited about the next few weeks. Because once the plant gets into this rhythm... you can almost feel the momentum. Every week starts bringing more visible change. The flowers become more defined. The plant becomes more obviously floral. The aroma develops. The overall structure starts looking increasingly mature. And Cash Express? She's entering that stage now. She's not finished. Not even close to writing the final chapter. But she's definitely moving. And moving quickly. ──────────────────────── 🔬 Her Uniqueness Is Becoming More Obvious This is another reason I'm glad we're documenting her individually. If you put Cash Express Pheno A beside another phenotype and simply called them both "Cash Express," you'd miss a lot. This girl has her own expression. Her own pace. Her own structure. Her own visual personality. And now... her own aroma is starting to become part of the picture. That's what phenotype hunting is about. You don't just want to know: "What strain is this?" You want to know: "What does this individual plant do?" And Cash Express Pheno A is slowly but surely answering that question. ──────────────────────── 📸 The Camera Sees What The Eye Sometimes Misses One of the things I love about documenting these plants every week is that the camera gives me another way to compare their development. Standing in the room, sometimes the changes don't feel enormous. Then I look at photographs from a few weeks ago... and suddenly: Whoa. She's changed. The flowers are more developed. The structure is different. The plant has progressed. And that's why these weekly photographs matter. They're not just pretty pictures. They're a timeline. They're evidence of the journey. And Cash Express is building a pretty interesting timeline. ──────────────────────── 💨 The Smell Is Becoming Part Of The Story This deserves another mention because it's something I really noticed this week. She's starting to make herself known. 😂💨 And I think that's a beautiful milestone in a flowering plant. The visual side has been there for weeks. Now the aromatic side is beginning to join the conversation. And that makes me even more curious. Because we don't know yet how strong this expression will become. We don't know exactly where the aroma is going to develop. And I'm not going to pretend I know what the final result will be. We're going to find out. That's the fun. Let the plant show us. ──────────────────────── 🚂 Cash Express Is Moving Fast If I had to summarize this week in one sentence, it would probably be: "She's moving." 😂🚂💨 She's moving quickly. She's developing. She's becoming more floral. She's becoming more aromatic. And she's becoming increasingly interesting. Maybe she's not the prettiest girl in the room. But she's certainly one of the girls I want to keep watching. Because there's something happening here. And I want to see where it goes. ──────────────────────── 🧠 Same Environment — Different Result This is probably the biggest lesson of the entire 8×8 Adventure. We can standardize the environment as much as possible. We can standardize the lighting. We can standardize the irrigation. We can standardize the nutrition. We can monitor temperature. We can monitor humidity. We can monitor CO₂. And still... the plants will express themselves differently. That's genetics. That's phenotype. And that's exactly why I wanted twelve individual diaries. Cash Express Pheno A is giving us another piece of that puzzle. She's fast. She's unique. She's aromatic. She's got charm. And she's becoming increasingly interesting as the weeks pass. ──────────────────────── 🔭 Looking Ahead — Where Is She Going? Now I'm genuinely curious. Because the next stage should be very interesting. She's moving quickly. She's starting to smell. The flowers are developing. The plant is becoming increasingly mature. So where does she go from here? How much more will those flowers develop? How much stronger will the aroma become? How will the final structure evolve? What kind of expression is hiding underneath all of this? I don't know. And I don't want to guess. Let's just watch. Let's document. Let's photograph. Let's smell. 😂💨 And let's see what Cash Express decides to become. ──────────────────────── ❤️ Final Thoughts — Give Her The Spotlight Week 12. And Cash Express Pheno A is moving. Fast. She's not necessarily the prettiest plant in the room. And I'm perfectly comfortable saying that. Because beauty isn't a competition. And this girl has something else. Charm. Character. Uniqueness. Personality. And now... aroma. She's starting to smell. She's developing quickly. She's becoming increasingly floral. And she's giving me another reason to stop beside her and take a closer look. She's not trying to be somebody else. She's just being Cash Express. And honestly? That's exactly what I want. This project isn't about finding twelve identical plants. It's about discovering twelve individual expressions. And this one is giving us a very interesting one. So let's make her shine. Let's give her the spotlight. Let's appreciate the flowers. Let's appreciate the structure. Let's appreciate the weird little details that make her different. Let's appreciate the aroma that's starting to fill the air. And most importantly... let's see where this girl goes. 🚂🌸💨 She's moving. She's moving fast. And I'm enjoying the ride. ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for these Cash Express genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore these individual phenotypes throughout the 8×8 Adventure. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the journey and helping us continue adjusting the flowering program as the room progresses. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for providing the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures we're testing in this room. Having more lighting capability, controlling the output and watching how these different plants respond has been one of the most interesting parts of this experiment. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing additional lighting deeper into the canopy and helping us think about the plants as three-dimensional structures. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us keep the environment under control behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following this crazy 8×8 Adventure on GrowDiaries. Every week we discover something a little different. A different shape. A different rhythm. A different colour. A different flowering structure. A different personality. And now... a different smell. 😂💨🌸 Cash Express Pheno A may not be the prettiest girl in the room. But she's certainly got something. She's unique. She's charming. She's developing quickly. And she's starting to make herself known. So let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep learning. And let's give this girl the spotlight she deserves. Because sometimes... the most interesting plant isn't the one that immediately catches your eye. Sometimes... it's the one that makes you come back for another look. Cash Express Pheno A? She's becoming that girl. 🚂🌸💚 Until next week... Keep moving, beautiful girl. We're watching. Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚

Flowers are starting on the Girls and I have started to introduce low levels of terpinator. Going to starting amping up the P an little to get some stacking. Any suggestions, let me know!!! Looking for the dankest buds possible, but also high hitting! Not seeing any nute burn so going to keep pushing. Working in a nice PH water flush with a little root cleanse 1x week.

🌱Day 50.💚 🌱Day 52.💚 🌱Day 54.💚 🌱Day 56.💚 Keep watering with ph balanced, plain water.
