So week 5 of flower done. I didn't get to spend as much time as I needed with them this week and barely got 4 feeds in. They get a ltr or 2 of water in between or the res will be dry so they're drinking nicely. She has stopped stretching so hopefully it's all stacking from now. Waiting on a loupe so I can tell when to harvest because I think I harvested her mum too early being my first plant. Took some of the leaves off that were shading other budsites and adjusted some of the lst later in the week but she seems happy enough. She is still outside even though we've had some rain, I'm sure I've managed to get her under cover most times.

🚂 Cash Express – Pheno B Week 7 | Grace in Full Bloom Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 One of the reasons I enjoy phenotype hunts so much is that they constantly remind me there is no such thing as a "perfect" plant. Every phenotype finds its own balance. Some become giants. Some stay compact. Some grow with explosive vigour. Others impress through elegance. Cash Express Pheno B continues to fall into that last category. She isn't the biggest plant in the room. She isn't the smallest either. She's simply developing into a wonderfully balanced lady with beautiful structure, healthy growth and one of the nicest leaf formations in the entire tent. Week after week, she keeps giving me more reasons to smile. ──────────────────────────── 🌿 A Beautiful Balance As flowering progresses, Pheno B is showing exactly why patience is so rewarding. Her stretch has been steady and controlled, creating a tall, elegant structure with excellent spacing between flowering sites. Every branch has room to breathe, while the canopy remains beautifully open for airflow and light penetration. She has reached around 90 cm this week, making her one of the medium-sized ladies in the room. Not towering above everyone... Not hiding beneath the canopy... Just perfectly balanced. Sometimes that's exactly where the magic happens. ──────────────────────────── 🍃 Leaves Like Open Hands Every time I look at this plant, one feature immediately catches my attention. Her leaves. They're absolutely gorgeous. Large, healthy seven-finger fan leaves spread wide open, almost like welcoming hands reaching toward the light. They have that deep healthy green colour every grower loves to see, with perfectly formed leaflets and beautiful symmetry throughout the plant. Healthy foliage tells us a great deal before harvest ever arrives. Strong leaves mean efficient photosynthesis. Efficient photosynthesis means more energy. And more energy ultimately becomes flowers. Nature has built a wonderful engine here, and it's running beautifully. ──────────────────────────── 🌸 Flowers Begin Taking Centre Stage The flowers continue developing exactly as I hoped. Every branch is now carrying clusters of bright white pistils that are beginning to stack together more noticeably than last week. The plant is clearly shifting her priorities. The stretch is slowing. Flower production is accelerating. While they're still early in development, the bud sites are becoming increasingly defined, giving us a much clearer picture of what this phenotype may become over the coming weeks. It's one of those exciting stages where every morning seems to bring a little more growth than the day before. ──────────────────────────── 💡 Light From Above... And Below As the canopy continues filling out, the combination of overhead lighting from the Future of Grow Black Series LED together with the LumiFlora under-canopy lights is creating an environment where every flowering site has the opportunity to thrive. The additional light beneath the canopy helps illuminate lower bud sites that would otherwise receive considerably less energy. Combined with her naturally open structure, this should allow more uniform flower development throughout the entire plant. It's another small detail that I'm very excited to evaluate as we move deeper into flowering. ──────────────────────────── 🌱 Feeding The AutoPot system continues quietly doing what it does best, supplying fresh nutrient solution whenever the plant requests it and allowing the roots to remain consistently hydrated without overthinking irrigation schedules. This week's reservoir consisted of: • Plagron Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L • Plagron Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L pH adjusted to 5.8 using Lemon Kick and pH Plus when required. Everything remains stable, and the plant continues responding with healthy foliage and steady flower production. Sometimes consistency really is the best feeding strategy. ──────────────────────────── 🌡️ Environment Environmental conditions remained very stable throughout the week, giving the entire room exactly what it needed during this important flowering phase. 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% 🥥 Root zone temperature: 21°C 💦 Solution temperature: 24°C ⚗️ pH: 5.8 ⚡ EC: 1.95 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 When the environment remains this consistent, the plants can spend less energy adapting and more energy building flowers. That's exactly what we're seeing here. ──────────────────────────── 📸 Behind the Lens This week's photographs showcase everything I enjoy about this phenotype. The close-ups reveal fresh white pistils reaching confidently upward while the overhead shots highlight those incredible seven-finger leaves radiating around each developing flower like a natural frame. The full-plant portraits show an elegant architecture with evenly spaced branches and excellent internodal distance. She's becoming one of those plants that's simply enjoyable to photograph. Every angle seems to reveal another beautiful detail. And somehow she manages to look graceful without ever trying too hard. ──────────────────────────── 🔍 Looking Ahead The coming weeks should be where things become really exciting. I expect the remaining stretch to slow even further while the flowers begin stacking more aggressively along every branch. Resin production should gradually begin increasing, and those beautiful clusters of pistils will slowly transform into proper colas. From here forward, my job remains simple. Maintain the environment. Keep the reservoir stable. Tuck the occasional leaf when needed. Then step back and let the genetics tell the rest of the story. Sometimes the best growers aren't directing the performance. They're simply giving nature the perfect stage. ──────────────────────────── 💚 Thank You Thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Every diary, every comment and every conversation reminds me how fortunate I am to share this journey with such an incredible growing community. A heartfelt thank you to GrowDiaries for bringing growers together from every corner of the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for providing the wonderful Cash Express genetics that continue revealing unique personalities with every passing week. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting every stage of this cultivation. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for delivering the powerful lighting that fuels this entire project. A special thank you to LumiFlora for the under-canopy lighting, helping ensure every flowering site receives the attention it deserves. Thank you as well to AutoPot for making irrigation beautifully simple while allowing the plants themselves to decide exactly when they want to drink. And finally... Thank you to every grower who follows along, leaves a comment, asks a question or simply enjoys watching these beautiful plants develop. Your support makes this adventure even more meaningful. Growers Love, and I'll see you all next week as Cash Express Pheno B continues transforming those elegant seven-finger leaves into a canopy full of beautiful flowers. 💚🚂🌱

increasing nutrient doses, monitoring EC and pH doesn't bear fruit, I think. Training also takes its toll and the girls flourish. We will continue to feed and observe... Second half of week brings quite intensive growth. Continue with LST, because need light penetration and some leaves out with same purpose. What does next days bring? I am exciting...

Harvest Report – Blue Sunset Sherbert The weed turned out absolutely phenomenal! The colors were stunning – incredibly dark, almost black, with deep purple hues that really popped. It was harvested at Day 80, with about 20% amber trichomes – just the right timing for a balanced effect. Check out the pictures – they speak for themselves! Stay tuned for the smoke report! --- Erntebericht – Blue Sunset Sherbert Das Weed ist einfach phänomenal geworden! Die Farben waren atemberaubend – richtig dunkel, fast schwarz, mit tiefvioletten Tönen, die richtig hervorgekommen sind. Geerntet wurde bei Tag 80, mit etwa 20% bernsteinfarbenen Trichomen – genau der richtige Zeitpunkt für einen ausgewogenen Effekt. Schaut euch die Fotos an – sie sprechen für sich! Bleibt dran für den Smoke Report!

The plants are looking really healthy. I’m still getting used to my new lights. I think I didn’t push enough light in week 2 of flower I’m ramping up the light intensity now. I had to whip out my par meter I was keeping the light to far off the plants. This light has to be closer to the plants than my mini sun. I’m lurking this light a lot I just need to get used to it

2025-04-21 Holy guercamole these ladies keep getting fatter ( vertical)- and they dont look close to end at all mindblowing the room is filled with remaining 7 huge plants , and 2 photoperiods in vegetation for outdoor everything runs smooth i am refilling the tank every 4 days, and its so easy---- iam going to give them some booster in this week xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Growing Environment Setup & Specifications Lighting System Model: Sanlight EVO 5-150 Quantity: Up to 5 units Power Output: 320W per unit Maximum Total Output: 1600W Environmental Control Management Unit: Growcontrol Growbase Pro Humidity Management: Dedicated Humidifier Dedicated Dehumidifier Temperature Control: Primary: System-controlled Secondary: Additional Radiator for supplemental heating Air Management Air Circulation: 2x Stand Fans Air Extraction: Exhaust Fan with Filter System Irrigation System Primary: Autopot XXL Pot System Water Storage: Flexi Tank Root Zone Aeration: Airdomes Dedicated Air Pump Growing Medium Type: TERRA PRETA MJ-Mix Nutrients System: BIOTABS Method: "Just Add Water" Strategy Type: Organic-based feeding

Hi guys I hope your all good, So its been a mad week! Had to have a switch around. So the mimosa sherberts have been a nightmare but I think I got them back on track, there a good few weeks behind now. Gelato cakes are doing brilliant! Frosting up lovely and smell amazing, I reckon 4 weeks max left on these 2 autos, then its waiting on the sherbert mimosa to show me some nice buds. I have 1 blue cheese fem and 2 x dark phoenix vegging in there now. I will repot them when the autos are all done and finished. Happy growing guys 👌💪💚 Hi guys I just got around to defoliating and tieing back down the sherbert mimosas, its looking like each node is a 40cm long main, I cant wait for these to start producing now. Happy growing guys.

This grow was pretty simple ! They went a total of 103 days from seed! Very trichomy dense buds with the smell of Berries vanilla and skunk ! This is a must try for you all Fastbuds has the greats!!!

Some of you may have wondered: Why do I use CO2 at average 950 ppfd μmol/m2/s (moral flow)? The answer is quite simple. Because of lack of space in some regions of my cultivation area, I simply cannot keep the ideal distance to my Sanlight high-performance lamp, due to some height growth of various strains. And so some of the main colas have ppfd values of 1250 μmol/m2/s and even more... So this is how I manage to achieve and compensate for such high radiation levels even with a CO 2 balance. And I have to say, my strategy to avoid various light stress symptoms works just fabulously. In combination with CO 2 implementation, my babies are simply unbeatably insensitive to light. Thats it! Beginning of 3rd week flowering: Again feeding my babies by 36 hours fermented potions of Bio Tabs Kompost Tea PK-Booster (15 g pro Liter) and added: 5ml Orgatrex/Liter 1 Spoon of Bactrex 1 Spoon of Mycotrex 1 Spoon of Mycco-Vital 1 Spoon of Dynomyco A little tip for those who are interested in small modifications that have a big difference or influence - on the result - effect - beauty - health - taste! Before adding microorganisms or beneficial bacteria or Mycorrizae and Trichodermas, please use oxygen-saturated water. On the one hand, unwanted chlorine gases evaporate and the small world of the microbiome becomes even faster and more rewarding in compost tea to sprout. Last but not least for this week, I would like to introduce my reasons, why I prefer growing biologically and sustainably. First of all, it’s something which suits very well in these times/days we are living now. Sustainability is a big need and task for our planet. 🌎 Nature means life. Our home, the air we breathe and everything that surrounds us. Not just today. Hopefully tomorrow as well. Maybe I'm starting to protect our environment on a small scale, but maybe I can also make a big difference at all. If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change... I thought about what’s the difference, between Mineral Feeding and Super Soil Feeding. It’s very easy. Biologically Growing is a similar process than the natural soil activities out there in the lap of nature’s. So plants has to work and interact with the microorganisms and microbiomic communities in the soil. So the plants will never get lazy like the lazy ones of mineral feeding growers. If you grow biologically, you will feed the soil first and the microorganisms will support every parameter next to your plant conditions. And that will generate an unbelievable spectrum of Terpenes and Trichomes you will never forget. It’s the same comparison, when you daily visit McDonalds and you eat only fast food. How does your body and mind react on this shit for money?!?! May I invite you to think about it… See you next week dear Growmies! Have a nice Weekend and take care… Peace out! Addendum for Day 53: At the moment we unfortunately have another winter onset here in Germany. This means that I am forced to take additional heating measures due to structural facts in order to be able to keep the temperatures constant. After all, just tonight the thermometer climbs again to -1 degree Celsius. In addition, my exhaust air system runs out of my bedroom terrace and I therefore grow winter and summer with the patio door open. Well, sometimes I experience real weather-related challenges. But all in all, no problem... "Where there's a will, there's a way." Addendum to pouring out the fermented PK tea: I always administer half a liter of lukewarm aerated water with 3.5 ml of cannazyme per liter to each plant. This means that the "root machine" is not supplied with supplies unprepared and the nutrient solution can thus also be better distributed in the soil. Since I also work with cloth shoes, I spray them evenly moistened everywhere with water that is also warm before pouring them out from the outside. This has the advantage that the moisture stays where it should: in the pot! ... I did the math today ;-) We are still in week 7 until this Friday. And week 8 starts on Friday! OMG... still so much time yeahh! Today my Fast Buds Sour Jealousy and Sweet Seeds Big Devil and Dark Devil Automatics arrived. I'm looking forward to it. This time Fast Buds next Time Sweet Seeds. Love them too. Very beautiful genetics. Today a review video of the beginning of week 3. At the time of the pictures, I had minor signs of nitrogen excess. (Light peaks first at the crown of the roof and then slightly continuing to the middle section.) I then painstakingly racked my brains as to why this could be. I found that very slight dry spots had formed and therefore the root found small accumulations of nitrogen that caused its problems. But then, when I carefully homogeneously checked the moisture content in the substrate, the problem evaporated again. However, they had not shown any loss of growth rate during this time. Nevertheless, they developed as expected. They Strawnanas had no problem with that. In the end, I always have a hard time killing them. But I guess that's the way things go. We live and die. We come and go. But it's not there yet. ;-) Tomorrow is day 56. Tomorrow’s updating day! Can't wait to see their progress. Have a good time and see you tomorrow… 🏽🕊️ 🏽 ☮️🕊️

Flushed and final week

First full week of flowering with some more training and defoliation. Both plants received 2 litres this week. I believe that was too much because leaves were droopy for much of the week. I'm going to let them dry for 6 days and then will start with Bloom nutrients. I'm also surprised by how different these plants look seeing as they're the same strain.

Hey now, hope everyone is having a great weekend. Not much to report on the Durban Nights, she popped above soil on day 3 and is now on day 7 and has her first true set of leaves. I started prepping the Coco Coir by flushing down to .4 EC and then soaking in water with an EC of 2.0 with Cal Mag and a PH of 6.8. I will let it soak until the seedlings are ready to be transplanted hopefully by next weekend or shortly thereafter. The weather in my region is perfect for cultivating seedlings as it is fairly hot and humid and I only have the Spectrum X running at 30% so it is not putting out much heat and I also have a humidifier running in the tent on low which is maintaining a RH of around 68%. I do have the AC Infinity fan kick on here and there just to keep some fresh air in the tent but no real issues with heat. Super excited for this strain as it is a cross of Durban Thai and Jack Herer which are two of my favorite Sative Strains. I hope everyone has a safe weekend. Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪 Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled

3 weeks curing and i think its done now very strong and sweet smell. Really enjoy my first autoFlowering harvest with this strain.

Weekly update on these big girls. I decided to take out some of the lower branches, giving more airflow at the top of the pot level. Overall they've exploded with growth this week. I'd say they're getting close to 4ft tall. I sprayed some BT spray for ipm this week since I don't want catapillers showing up unannounced. All in all Happy

Everything went smoothly. Just have a little bit of water around the root every other day or so. Gradually giving more as it grew and the soil dried out.

Ich habe mich dazu entschieden sie heute schon zu legen. Sie sieht einfach Klasse aus, frostig, kompakt und Fett! Update vom 23.01.2026: Ich habe mit meinem gecurten Guava an einem privaten Community Winter-Cup teilgenommen und habe mich gegen 4 andere Sorten durchgesetzt, darunter Zkittlez Runtz, Permanent Marker, Tangerine Dream und CBD Crack 1:1 wuhuuu 🏆 Als Gewinn gab es einen 20€ Gutschein für einen Ortsansässigen Headshop 🤤 😄🤭🥇 Freue mich total 😌👌🏻
