Day 99 - Change up for ripening. Have Moved to the Sunmaster 10K finisher to see about frosting up dem der buds. Have also moved to using Dragon Force now to get the final push on them prior to flushing them back for the harvest. Getting plenty of Brown pistils (Much easier to see under the 10K) but from last nights look, trichs were still pretty clear. Have ordered a wee USB microscope of the Big Bad Amazon to give them a better look (expecting it Wednesday) as the wee handheld loope I have is pretty pish!!! Apart from that, its now a watching and waiting game! Hope you all enjoy the vid/pics and happy growing all!!!

Done a lot of leaf tucking on this one and now I have flicked lights lad week and this is the result up to now the seed was from a bag of Cali what was 10/10 smoke

✌️🎃 Thank you for checking my cultivation. 🦍🌺 Beautiful flowers.

Twelfth week and now this is the end. I decided to harvest these days because two weeks have passed since I have increased the amount of water and because the peaks now seem to be in a very good development point. The plant is really spectacular. The flowers are very compact and voluminous, they give off a really intense, citrusy and orange scent. The two main buds are completely equal and measure entirely 50cm. All the rest of the buds have not developed badly either. The amount of pollen is moderately high and you can notice very well a compact layer on all the flowers. As I said I watered the plant with just water all week, increasing the dose more and more to wash the roots completely and be able to harvest the plant. I cut everything and hung it all up in a cabinet where I control the humidity and temperature values and try to keep them stable through an air recirculation system. I hope to have everything almost dry and ready within 10 days to be able to participate in the competition. I really thank Zamnesia very much for the opportunity it has given me and for this wonderful genetics that has made me known. I am very excited about what I have achieved from this growth and what I have learned in all this time. All I need now is to try this wonder!

The girl looks quite well, drinks a lot, after checking the pot after two days - it was light as a feather :) now I will check her more often:) next week, leaf trimming will probably be done, "Let's raise her ergeja into flowers" good luck to everyone.

Day 28 flowering" Aloha grow buddies. Hope all have happy plants and greenery. These amazing ladies have coped really well with the heatwaves we are going through here in the uk. None of them have held back with bud production and seen the mutant # Banana has decided to join in now. I did a very careful but needed defoliation of most of the ladies . The airflow now is a lot more useful bit it is still very warm. Bamana mash are all stacking very nicely now and their stems are looking less spindley. There are a lot of really nice length limbs showing their potential now too. The canopy has evened out nicely for these ladies now. Purple Monkey are really storming ahead with girth now and the buds different Phenos are all more obvious. Only the #2 has the Purple showing so far. The middle row has now got a firm race on with the ladies there trying to dominate for the available light. I am stoked with the development in the experimental seeds and can see some nice harvests coming. Well done Exotic seeds. Hopefully sponsor some more autos to follow on ? , maybe ? . lol They are all feeding really well now and on about 5L each per 1 days. No signs of any issues now at all and hopefully the next 4 weeks + will all be about swelling those stacks. Be safe and well growmies .

LAST 1.5weeks starting next week!! Finally🙌

she cameout to bee huge she is about 100-110 cm i even topped her but still she is too tall so had to improvisecause do nothave ao much spcin height .

well, another week has passed and they are already quite fat, a pity that they could be bigger but I will thank you for the experience and learning for the next cycle, as I said before I ordered a starter kit from advanced nutrients and I will test it on these same ones strains and let's see what happens! =D

Edit soon

Would love to hear from everyone..

On day 73, she has continued to develop purple stems along with an increase production in trichomes as seen in the photos. Steady growth and beautiful green overall.

Hello everyone, people! This is the largest Autoflowering plant that I have ever grown!)) The photo still does not convey the entire volume and its size .. it is just gigantic! fills a 1 square meter grow tent .. flowering started well! and develops without any problems .. received the first doses today Nirvana and Big Bud from advanced nutrients!!

Die buds bilden schon trichome und werden voller sieht sehr gut aus bis jetzt

Start of week 4, everything going well 14-02-21 the leaves are starting to smell a Little, like fresh cutted grass or sage 15-02-21 a lot of new branches, trying my best with lst 16-02-21 i got my order from rqs, i ordered a fat banana, haze Berry and a royal Bluematic and i got 4 free seeds of northern light, i still have 2 seeds of creamatic and a Quick One. The next grow will be the fat banana, i'm really excited for this strani. Anyway, got some codes for free gifts and seed but i'm not gonna order for a while, can i share the codes here? 17-02-21 i fucked up with watering, Hope i dosn't cause truble, i'll wait some days and pray lol 19-02-21 it's the end of week 4, and i fucked up everything right at the start of flowering... Hope i still can get some decent Buds, these are nobs mistakes but the next grow ill be better 🤞

Week 2 - Cash Express (Pheno B) 💸🌱 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another update from the 8×8 Adventure! For those joining us for the first time, this project follows multiple Zamnesia cultivars and phenotypes grown side-by-side under a 12/12-from-seed schedule. Every phenotype receives its own dedicated diary so we can document individual development, compare expressions, and follow each plant’s unique journey from seed to harvest. Rather than combining multiple plants into a single report, Pheno A and Pheno B are documented separately. Even when two plants come from the same pack, they often express themselves differently, and that’s exactly what makes these side-by-side comparisons so interesting. This run remains under a 12/12 light schedule from the very first day of life. The goal is not to maximize vegetative size but to explore genetic diversity, plant structure, vigor, and flowering characteristics while maintaining a manageable and educational garden. Week 2 Overview The second week has been another excellent one across the entire room. Growth rates have accelerated noticeably compared to Week 1, root systems continue expanding below the surface, and plants are beginning the transition from seedlings into young vegetative plants. Lighting intensity has now been increased to approximately 370 µmol/m²/s throughout the room, giving the plants additional energy while remaining well within a comfortable range for this stage of development. Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week: • Light Schedule: 12/12 • Day Temperature: 27°C • Night Temperature: 25°C • Relative Humidity: 55% • Solution Temperature: 20.1°C • Substrate Temperature: 21°C • CO₂: Ambient (~600 ppm) Watering remained intentionally controlled. Each plant received approximately 250 ml on Day 8 and another 250 ml on Day 11. Nutrient levels were gradually increased throughout the week as the entire room continued responding positively to feeding. Week-ending values: • EC: 0.9 mS/cm • pH: 6.0 Current feeding schedule: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Power Roots – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L The response has been excellent throughout the garden, with healthy color, vigorous growth, and no signs of nutrient stress. Cash Express Pheno B Living next to a sibling that seems determined to become the biggest plant in the room is not always an easy job. Cash Express Pheno A may currently be winning the size competition, but Pheno B is quietly building an impressive case of her own. While slightly smaller than her sister at this stage, she remains healthy, vigorous, symmetrical, and extremely attractive overall. One thing that stands out immediately is the consistency of her development. The plant continues producing healthy leaves with excellent coloration and balanced structure throughout the canopy. Growth remains steady, internodal spacing looks clean, and every new set of leaves arrives looking stronger than the last. She may not be racing ahead like her sibling, but she is progressing with confidence and stability. And sometimes those are exactly the traits growers appreciate most later in a run. Development Notes Week 2 brought significant progress for this phenotype. Five-finger leaves are now becoming established, new growth is arriving rapidly, and the plant is building a strong framework for the weeks ahead. The canopy remains balanced and symmetrical while maintaining a healthy green color across all visible growth. What I particularly enjoy about this phenotype is that she feels very comfortable in her own lane. She is not trying to compete. She is not trying to be the largest. She is simply growing exactly as she wants to grow. And she is doing a beautiful job of it. While her sister attracts attention through sheer vigor and size, Pheno B stands out through balance, consistency, and elegant development. A Little Macro Photography Fun One of the highlights of this week’s update came during a macro photography session. Tiny water droplets resting on the leaves created beautiful reflections of the LED lighting above, producing some fascinating close-up images. These little moments are easy to miss during daily garden work, but slowing down and looking closely often reveals an entirely different world hidden within the canopy. The reflected light patterns inside the droplets created some surprisingly artistic images and offered a fun reminder that there is beauty to be found at every scale inside a grow room. Not every photograph needs to be about measuring growth. Sometimes it’s simply about appreciating the details. Mr. Baggy Report Mr. Baggy continues his important role as Chief Observation Officer of the 8×8 Adventure. Current duties include: • Supervising daily garden activities • Inspecting plant development • Monitoring environmental conditions • Participating in weekly photography sessions • Providing emotional support to nervous growers His performance review remains pending. Looking Ahead If development continues at its current pace, next week should bring: • Continued canopy expansion • Larger five-finger leaves • Additional node development • Stronger stem growth • Increasing phenotype expression • Further separation between sibling growth patterns It will be particularly interesting to see whether Pheno B maintains her more compact and balanced structure as the project moves forward. Final Thoughts Week 2 leaves me very happy with Cash Express Pheno B. Healthy growth. Excellent color. Strong development. Balanced structure. While she may currently be slightly smaller than her sister, she continues demonstrating exactly the qualities growers love to see at this stage of life. Strong roots. Healthy leaves. Steady progress. And absolutely no signs of slowing down. Every phenotype tells its own story, and Cash Express Pheno B is already writing a very enjoyable chapter. A huge thank you to everyone following along, commenting, sharing advice, and supporting the project. Special thanks to Zamnesia, Plagron, Future of Grow, and everyone helping make this adventure possible. Most importantly, thank you to the growing community. Your support, knowledge, encouragement, and passion are what make projects like this so enjoyable to document and share. Thank you for stopping by, and I’ll see you all next week for another update from the 8×8 Adventure. Grower Love DD🌱💚

Happy 4:20 everyone! 🙌 I hope everyone's doing well and please remember to stay safe! The buds in my plant are getting bigger! Two of the side branches of Pistachio could not hold the weight of the buds (you can see when they fall on the timelapse!) so I had to "hang" them to the tent, yikes! 👽 I also increased the amount of Silver PK by 0.5 but I believe the PPM was a little too high, so next week I'll try lowering the dose of CalMax to see if that helps. Some of the trichomes on the leafs are starting to turn ambar (while the rest of the plant are transparent or very milky) so I suppose the girls are getting there! They need a liiiiittle more time since there are still some immature hairs, specially on Matcha. The leaves of Pistachio are also turning lighter in color and I've been removing them everytime one pops up. Anyway, see you all in my next update! 👍
