Week 3 flower day 16 the ladies are getting massive and tall, i knew i did a mistake veging them too long but no worries i hold my fingers that the wont starch more then they are, im very limited in height.. anyway the plants are very healthy and they are always hungry. The CO2 is like steroids for them I reach the easy to 2.2 and I know I can push even more. Iโ€™ll do it in the next weeks. After 21 days days i going for defoliation, I donโ€™t want to do it now to stress the plans. I prefer to do it after this stretching finish. ** update week 3 day 19, i hade to raise up the light to to the ceiling of the growing tent, I was surprised how much slurricane#7 stretching.. I also unfortunately needed to do some super croping in week 3 itโ€™s a bit risky but i had no choice some of the flowers reached the leds and the leafs got burned a bit..

(EN) The plants are in a wooden planter to protect them from strong winds (they remain in their 3.6L pots for now). Watering with clear water on day 21. Some plants have slightly tipped but nothing serious. Meteorological change from day 23, with a drop in temperature and rainy, cloudy and windy weather (but this does not prevent the plants from growing, on the contrary). Watering with root fertilizer at 1mL/L and growth fertilizer at 1mL/L on day 25. (CAN) Les plants sont dans une jardiniรจre en bois afin de les protรฉger des vents violents (ils restent pour lโ€™instant dans leur pots de 3,6L). Arrosage ร  lโ€™eau clair le jour 21. Quelques plants ont lรฉgรจrement tigรฉ mais rien de grave. Changement mรฉtรฉorologique a partir du jour 23, avec une baisse de tempรฉrature et un temps pluvieux, nuageux et venteux (mais cela nโ€™empรชche pas les plants de croรฎtre, au contraire). Arrosage avec lโ€™engrais racinaire ร  1mL/L et lโ€™engrais de croissance a 1mL/L le jour 25.

๐Ÿš‚ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 12 ๐ŸŒธ Cash Express โ€“ Pheno A ๐Ÿ’จ She's Moving Fast โ€” And Now She's Starting To Talk Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And Cash Express Pheno A... Well... She's moving. And she's moving FAST. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿš‚๐Ÿ’จ 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. ๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ˜‚ 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ The 8ร—8 Adventure โ€” Same Room, Different Stories For anyone discovering this diary now, welcome to the 8ร—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." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿš‚๐Ÿ’จ And she's certainly moving now. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿš‚ 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ Maybe Not The Prettiest Girl... I'm going to be honest. ๐Ÿ˜‚ 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!" ๐Ÿ˜‚ 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โœจ 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. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿš‚๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘ƒ 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. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿ’จ 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก Still Under The Same Lighting Experiment And just like everyone else in the 8ร—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: ๐Ÿ”Œ 59% power from the plug with approximately: โ˜€๏ธ 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ Photons In โ€” 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." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’จ๐ŸŒธ 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฅฅ Nutrition โ€” 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: ๐ŸŒธ 2.3 ml/L to: ๐ŸŒธ 2.0 ml/L This brought the EC down slightly to: โšก ~2.05 mS/cm The rest of the current recipe remains: ๐ŸŒฑ Pure Zym โ€” 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฟ Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L ๐Ÿฏ Sugar Royal โ€” 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ pH Plus โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐Ÿ‹ Lemon Kick โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐ŸŒธ Terra Bloom โ€” 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ง Still Providing โ€” Still Watching The current irrigation is around: ๐Ÿ’ง 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Week 12 โ€“ Current Room Conditions The current room conditions are approximately: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering: Week 12 ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 โ˜€๏ธ Upper-canopy PPFD: ~1,500 ๐Ÿ”Œ Future of Grow Black Series output: ~59% from the plug ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~27ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity: ~60% โš—๏ธ pH: ~6.04 โšก EC: ~2.05 mS/cm ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Solution temperature: ~25.2ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: ~26ยฐC ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ COโ‚‚: ~693 ppm ๐ŸŒฑ Pot size: 15 L ๐Ÿ’ฆ 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ 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 8ร—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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’จ 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. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’จ 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿš‚ Cash Express Is Moving Fast If I had to summarize this week in one sentence, it would probably be: "She's moving." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿš‚๐Ÿ’จ 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿง  Same Environment โ€” Different Result This is probably the biggest lesson of the entire 8ร—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 COโ‚‚. 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ญ Looking Ahead โ€” 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. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’จ And let's see what Cash Express decides to become. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โค๏ธ Final Thoughts โ€” 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. ๐Ÿš‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’จ She's moving. She's moving fast. And I'm enjoying the ride. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ 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 8ร—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 8ร—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. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’จ๐ŸŒธ 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. ๐Ÿš‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š Until next week... Keep moving, beautiful girl. We're watching. Growers Love & Happy Growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š

Can't tell if she's trying to flower or not still seems to be responding well to lst had started to drink and feed a lot more so I'll keep LSTing to speed her if she shows more signs or real signs of flower I'll stop. But going really well had needed nothing seems very strong and healthy growing very quickly no stunting... Super Sativa Seed Club Auto Purple OG Punch yuM!

Sticking with a Seedsman strain this run as they seem to be the most consistent in my personal experience. Seeds always sprout, have had a 100 percent success rate germinating seeds from Seedsman after popping at least a couple from 4 different strains of theirs. On top of that the quality has been there each harvest so we are giving one of their most popular strains a go and we shall see where it takes us. Although this run I will be trying amended coco coir instead of my usual peat based mediums in an attempt to avoid a pH fallout when the dolomite lime wears out or is used by the plant and allows the peat to become more acidic mid flower. At least this is my theory.. I guess Ill find out. Another thing to note is that for germination I start in a glass of water for 12 hours and then transfer the seeds into the paper towel method by placing them in a damp paper towel until the tap roots are long enough to plant into starting pots.. by far my most successful method personally.

Day 77-84 (April 17th-24th) (Day 78) I honestly cant believe Iโ€™ve been vegging this long. The growth for almost 80 days of veg is laughable. Iโ€™ve compiled a little list of what has gone wrong so far. - I added too much glacial moraine which made the soil too water retentive - Iโ€™ve been foliar feeding too much kelp - I gave too many bloom nutrients for a plant in veg - EDIT: DID NOT WATER ENOUGH AT ONCE The plants have been drooping like crazy this past week and Iโ€™m going to try watering in a full gallon per plant. I first thought it was from the medium not drying out enough, soil compaction ect. and Iโ€™m sure those are definitely areas where my soil mix could improve but the bottom of the container is pretty damn dry. I could actually be under watering despite soaking the top with 500ml a day. Iโ€™m going to sit the pots on some plastic sheeting so they donโ€™t evaporate as much from the bottom and water in a full gallon each making sure I get some runoff. I was going to wait until I get my air pump but fuck it, itโ€™s coming tomorrow afternoon. The pots are so big that theyโ€™re not fully wetting to the bottom even with a gallon. Iโ€™m going to try to water in a gallon every 4 days while keeping the top soil moist with the sprayer. In hindsight 6 plants in 5-7 gallon pots would be the most ideal. (Day 79) Holy fuck did a full gallon watering make a difference. I should have been doing this the whole time. All 4 plants are praying and stretching upward like crazy. They just look more vigorous and happy within a day. I bet they will be even happier with that supplemental air. If things stay this smooth I should be able to flip around day 84, possibly earlier. Got my air pump in the mail today. This is kind of a shot in the dark so hopefully it works. Itโ€™s super loud and vibrates like crazy. First Iโ€™m going to try running it 24/7 and see if there is any improvement over the next few days. If it does work, Iโ€™ll try running it on my humidity controller so itโ€™s not constantly humming and will only turn on when the humidity is high. Iโ€™m going to turn the night time temps down to 70f to prevent root problems now that Iโ€™m watering much bigger amounts less frequently and itโ€™s getting warmer during the day. (Day 81/Day 1F) Ever since Iโ€™ve been watering in the proper amounts I have seen an absolute explosion in growth. Iโ€™ve decided to flip today, now that Iโ€™m confident my soil mix isnโ€™t completely fucked. I might run into some N/mg problems during the stretch so I will make sure to give a final foliar feeding around the end of week 1. (Day 3F) So Iโ€™m literally seeing dwc growth rates now. Plants have grown more in the last 5 days than the last 3 weeks. If I had stayed at this pace of growth since day 1, I would have an 8 foot tall plant or I would be halfway through flower already. Oh well. Good learning experience. *grits teeth* Iโ€™m going to put up the second layer of trellis before these girls stretch out of control. Bbb#3 is seriously stretchy and will likely more than double in size in the next 2 weeks. The other 4 are all quite stout and bushy. Iโ€™m giving a light, preemptive defoliation each day and picking off some of the lower sucker branches. I will do a full strip around day 21F.

Day 71 ๐ŸŒค๏ธโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒค๏ธ๐ŸŒฅ๏ธ 13-23 degrees, humidity 53-78%. I start into the 11th week with an intense check of the trichomes. Tropicana started to produce amber and blue trichomes, next to purple and pink. The purple getโ€™s darker and the appearance of the flowers change to a beautiful bouquet of fragrant colours. Day 72 โ˜๏ธ๐ŸŒง๏ธโ˜๏ธโ›ˆ๏ธ 15-24 degrees, humidity 69-84%. Today my plants needed to be canopied again because of strong rainfall. Iโ€˜m glad that I have this opportunity while they continue standing outside and ripening. I take some fotos of Tropicana and her trichomes, gave her one liter of pure rainwater and let her wait for the next sunny days. And wait, and wait probably several more days. Day 73 - End of spring, beginning of summer! ๐Ÿค“ ๐ŸŒง๏ธโ˜๏ธ๐ŸŒง๏ธโ˜๏ธ17-25 degrees, humidity is 70-90%. Got to have an eye on the flowers, they are dry but the humidity is too high for doing nothing. Today in the evening I took a few leafs of my plants for a relax tee. A nightingale is singing next to our balcony. Love it! Day 74 ๐ŸŒง๏ธ๐ŸŒง๏ธโ˜๏ธ๐ŸŒง๏ธ 19-24 degrees, humidity is 75-90%. Tropicana is smelling wonderfully. Itโ€˜s like a bouquet of all her colors. My nose is in love! Day 75 โ›…๏ธ๐ŸŒง๏ธโ˜๏ธโ›ˆ๏ธ 13-19 degrees, humidity is 80-94 %. Waiting for sunshine. I decided after reading about, to flush the potting soil twice. Once I did today with 10 liter water and a lot of drainage wich was quit clear at he end. A second time I will do it in about a week then maybe stop watering her. Day 76 ๐ŸŒค๏ธโ›…๏ธโ˜๏ธ๐ŸŒฅ๏ธ 12-24 degrees, humidity is between 60 and 80. Today Tropicana enjoys her life on our balcony. She looks fine after flushing yesterday early morning. Iโ€˜m looking once per day on three flowers at the same point if thereโ€˜s fresh growth, and there is. Found a Terpmonster this morning. Wake and bake. Psychedelic Sunday! Night 77 ๐ŸŒค๏ธโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒค๏ธโ˜€๏ธ 15-26 degrees and the humidity is 55-73%. I brought Tropicana inside to take some pictures with a flashlight. Itโ€™s not so easy to catch the real tropical colors, nearly this fotos give an idea. She is smelling very intensive. Very fruity floral fragrance stayed for hours in the flat. I really need to think where do dry our weed. Because of different reasons I wonโ€˜t do it in the flat. So I think about the basement or maybe on the balcony depending on humidity and weather forecast.

Not much to say this week they only grew two inches last week so the stretch is over now. One of them is getting really frosty the other not so much but it is a little behind schedule since it sprouted crooked and took a little over a week to fix itself.

24.08.26 nachdem die kleinen Autos geerntet wurden konnte ich die groรŸen Photos etwas auseinander rรผcken und mehr Platz schaffen. Das Blรผtenwachstum nimmt nun deutlich Fahrt auf und jeden Tag gibt es eine Hand voll gelber Sonnensegel die ich abpflรผcke. In ein bis zwei Wochen werden die Pflanzen deutlich anders aussehen und weniger Sichtschutz zu den Nachbarn bieten. Der Wasserbedarf ist mit den Temperaturen spรผrbar zurรผck gegangen. Es hat in der vergangenen Woche nach langer Zeit geregnet. Happy growing allerseits!

Grow diary / germination / The new adventure begins Hello, dear grower friends! ๐Ÿ˜Š Iโ€™m back with a new grow diary and a new adventure. This is my second grow and Iโ€™m excited to try new things and improve my skills. Iโ€™m thankful for all the support and feedback Iโ€™ve received from you . ๐Ÿ™ In this weekโ€™s update, I want to talk about: My setup My seeds My germination My expectations My setup My setup is still an 80 by 80 by 180 cm tent, which is a bit small but nothing else fits in my room. Iโ€™m very satisfied with it for the beginning, but I will get a Homebox for the third run because I find the zippers better processed and the inlay reflects more light. My lamp is a LUmatek 200 watt pro edition, which Iโ€™m absolutely happy with. It has great handling and processing and it gives enough light for my plants. If I get a smaller tent for a mother plant, I will order from Lumatek again 110 percent. My exhaust is twice as strong as I need it so I can keep it at a quiet 50 percent. It keeps the air fresh and the temperature stable. The temperature is around 25ยฐC and the humidity is around 60%. I water my plants manually according to the Biobizz fertilizer scheme. I use organic nutrients and adjust the pH of the water. The plants are in Lightmix now and will move to 20 l fabric pots in Allmix when transplanting. My seeds As seeds I have this time: 1 Orange Sherbert from Barneys Farm 1 Bruce Banner 1 Apple Fritter 2 Lemon Gelato from a collaboration of Zamnesia and Kannabia These are all very special strains that Iโ€™m curious to try. The Lemon Gelato seeds were limited to 500 and I hope they will be fantastic. Of course I have conserved some for later grows. My germination I germinated the seeds in a glass of water for 24 hours and then planted them in small pots with Lightmix. They sprouted after 2-3 days and are now showing their first true leaves. They look healthy and happy, except for one Lemon Gelato seed that didnโ€™t make it, which was probably my fault. The other one is very lively. I have them under the lamp at 18/6 light cycle and at about 50 cm distance. I water them every two days with a spray bottle and a little bit of root juice. My expectations Iโ€™m looking forward to the new challenge, especially because itโ€™s a mix of 4 strains this time and I hope we can build on past successes. I want to improve my scrog technique and top the plants at least 3 times. I also want to try mainlining on one of them. I thank you all for stopping by, as soon as itโ€™s worth it there will be a timelapse. ๐ŸŽฅ Thatโ€™s it for this week. Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more updates on my grow diary. Feel free to leave a comment or a question below. Happy growing! ๐ŸŒฑ

Day 77 - Look at this plant! Just look at it! The trichomes on her are simply amazing. I've never seen anything like it in my tent before. View the close up photos at high res and you can see the trichomes clearly. They're EVERYWHERE!!!! She is ridiculously sticky, and when you touch her the smell is pure grapefruit. Citrus but sour. ๐Ÿ˜ I would love to do a lab test on this strain but geographically I cannot..... I'm estimating well over 20% THC....

๐ŸŒธ Week 4 Flower Report: Growth, Challenges & Big Changes! ๐ŸŒธ Hey, Grow Diaries Fam! โœจ Weโ€™re here at Week 4 of Flower, and what a week itโ€™s beenโ€”packed with challenges, adjustments, and exciting progress! Before diving into the details, letโ€™s start with a note on my flowering timeline. While this is Week 4, I donโ€™t start counting flower days the moment I flip to 12/12. Instead, I wait for the plants to show true signs of bloom. Itโ€™s a small but significant distinction that keeps things accurate and aligned with the plantsโ€™ development. ๐ŸŒฑ Defoliation: Timing is Everything! Defoliation is a critical part of the flowering stage, and I typically wait until Day 21. However, this week, I tackled it earlier on Day 17 because: 1๏ธโƒฃ The room was simply too full. 2๏ธโƒฃ And most importantlyโ€”the Papaya Zoap had other plans! Sheโ€™s a fighterโ€”determined, defiant, and constantly reaching for the moon. Despite intense training like super cropping, sheโ€™s still pushing upward, nearly outpacing the LED lights. Challenges like this remind us of a simple truth: gardening mirrors life. Itโ€™s about resilience, adaptation, and unwavering determination. ๐Ÿ’ช This week, I added a second SCROG layer. While this net will support the flowering colas, itโ€™s also there to strategically manage the Papaya Zoap. Why? Because experience has taught me that if she grows out of the LEDโ€™s range, she wonโ€™t finish properlyโ€”and that could disrupt the balance for every other plant in the tent. Itโ€™s all about teamwork, even in the garden. ๐ŸŒŸ Defoliation was intense, removing nearly all the leaves with stems to clear space and boost airflow. The tent now looks dramatically different! For the full before-and-after transformation, be sure to check out my YouTube channelโ€”trust me, youโ€™ll want to see this process up close! ๐ŸŽฅโœจ Switching to Aptus Holland Minerals A major milestone this week: Iโ€™ve transitioned entirely to Aptus Holland Minerals. ๐ŸŒŠ From now on, itโ€™s just mineralsโ€”no more organic inputs. This marks the start of a new chapter, and Iโ€™m incredibly curious to see how the plants react to these changes. Hereโ€™s the current nutrient mix: โ€ข System Clean: 0.5 ml/L โ€ข Regulator: 0.15 ml/L โ€ข RO Water Conditioner: 0.8 ml/L โ€ข All-in-One Liquid: 2.1 ml/L Iโ€™m keeping the pH at 6.1 and TDS at 556 ppm, and so far, the plants are thriving. This week also included a thorough system clean, ensuring everything runs smoothly as we enter the final flowering stages. ๐ŸŒฟ Bud Development: Pure Magic! The bud formation across all the genetics is nothing short of incredible. Every plant is thriving, and the canopy is lush, vibrant, and full of potential. Iโ€™ve raised the PPFD to 750 for this stage, with temps steady at 25ยฐC and RH at 63%โ€”keeping the VPD dialed in at 1.11. The TrolMaster ecosystem, paired with the AutoPots, makes managing these precise conditions seamless. With more time to focus on the plants, I can give them the daily care they deserve. ๐Ÿ’š Shoutouts & Gratitude A huge thank you to my sponsors and supporters: TrolMaster, Aptus Holland, Pro-Mix, Cannakan, and the amazing seed banks. Your incredible products and technology make this journey possible. ๐ŸŒŸ To the Grow Diaries community and all my followersโ€”thank you for your energy, love, and even the challenges from the haters. It all fuels this incredible process, and I apprecilove every bit of it. Special shoutout to Brother Daggadnaโ€”check him out on Instagram and show some love! ๐Ÿ’š The plants are heading into the next phase of bloom, and I canโ€™t wait to share how this story unfolds. ๐ŸŒธโœจ As always, stay tuned, stay positive, and letโ€™s keep growing strong together! ๐Ÿ™Œ Growersโ€™ love to all ๐Ÿ’š #TrolMaster #AptusHolland #GrowLife #CannabisCommunity #FlowerWeek4 #NeverGiveUp #GrowWithLove #IndoorHorticulture #Defoliation #PPFD #ControlledEnvironment #SCROGNet #DogDoctorOfficial Discount Codes so you can save big on your next check out ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š Kannabia - DOGDOCTOR 30% off SeedsmanSeeds - DOGDOCTOR 10% off CannaKan- DOGDOCTOR 15% off terpyz.eu - DOCTOR 15% off The Neutralizer - PORKIT5-DOG 15% off As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life ๐Ÿ™โ€จ With true love comes happiness ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ™ Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so ๐Ÿ’š Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only Growers Love to you all ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š P.S. โ€“ A Deep Dive into the ICL-300: Revolutionizing Under-Canopy Lighting The ICL-300 isnโ€™t just another LEDโ€”itโ€™s a game-changer for under-canopy lighting. Unlike traditional LED systems that project light in a single direction, the ICL-300โ€™s 300-degree design ensures even light distribution beneath the canopy. ๐ŸŒŸ This unique feature means that no part of your plant is left in shadow, creating a balanced environment for lower buds to thrive. Key Tech Specs & Benefits: โ€ข 300-Degree Light Distribution: This design fills the under-canopy space with optimal light, enhancing photosynthesis where it often gets neglected. ๐ŸŒฑ โ€ข Full Spectrum Output: Tailored to meet the specific needs of plants at every stage, ensuring quality growth from base to apex. โ€ข Energy Efficiency: Advanced LED technology delivers maximum output with minimal energy usage, keeping costs down and sustainability up. ๐Ÿ’ก โ€ข Durability & Heat Management: Built with high-quality materials, the ICL-300 stays cool and reliable, even in intense growing environments. Why It Matters: Under-canopy lighting is a game-changer for growers aiming to maximize yield and quality. Typically, lower buds receive less light, resulting in larfy or underdeveloped flowers. The ICL-300 changes that dynamic entirely by turning shadows into opportunity. ๐ŸŒŸ With light evenly dispersed across the entire plant, youโ€™re not just growing; youโ€™re sculpting a masterpiece. For me, the ICL-300 is more than a toolโ€”itโ€™s a partner in innovation. It ensures that every plant in my grow room has equal opportunity to shine, from the top colas to the smallest buds at the base. When paired with a carefully managed ecosystem, like the one powered by TrolMaster, the potential for consistent, top-quality harvests reaches new heights. This isnโ€™t just about adding lightโ€”itโ€™s about adding value, efficiency, and balance to the grow process. Iโ€™m beyond excited to see how the ICL-300 transforms the game in my tent, and I canโ€™t wait to share the results with you all! ๐Ÿ’š
