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

So week 2 was a bit of a fuck up, I think. The scrog went into flower and by the end of week 1, it was looking far to busy and leafy, zero light was getting through so I decided to thin down a little. Also I wasn't happy with how the scrog was over developing, so I took away the net and allowed them some free growth and little more spread across the canopy. I think this work stressed them a little, who knows?? Ideally I should have given them a far more comprehensive prune a week before flower, alas I didn't so here I am. This weekend will mark 3 weeks of flower, and apart from the prune I've seriously left alone and will have for a couple weeks, so this weekend they will get some serious defoliation and probably a few straggler tops will be removed to thin down a little. After this weekend, again, just feed and monitor. So looks like I was just being a bit of a drama queen, the plants are doing superbly as I near wk 3, lots and lots of colas. I will be thinning these as needed whilst I prune by taking out any stragglers. I've also added back in some boost nutes just to help overcome any stress I may have caused. I've also raised the lights slightly to reduce stress at this important stage. Last one for this week, all plants fully defoliated which I'm stoked about, no problems, I think I'll need the odd support cane since a binned the scrog, but apart from that not much else left to do other that monitor all aspects to make sure of no silly mistakes.

So I’m updating a day early only because it’s looking like a lot of rain tomorrow so here it is: Pp 1- 36 inches Pp2- 34 inches Pp3- 36 inches Os1- 35 inches Os2- 32 inches Os3- 36 inches Been dealing with a lot of wind so there is some damages on them but it is what it is I’m not sure how you prep them for 50kmh winds 🤷‍♂️ I’m thinkin the tent would be in a pile in the grow room 😂 but anyways other then that there looking good. I’ve seen roughly 5-6 lady bugs laying eggs on the girls so that’s a good start!! No sign of pest yet but nature is prepin em. I’ve gotta get some more straw to lay down as the wind blew a lot of it away, it’s coming everything is just a waiting game.. leaving on Wednesday for work so it’s going to be exciting to see em two weeks later! Was a little nervous they were going to flip to flower but everything seems good so far haven’t noticed any major stretch or anything like that so I think we’re in the clear. The weather is taking a swing back to normal here it’s been outa wack the last little bit, anywhere from 25-30c highest with humidity was 39c I’ve never seen this in May in my lifetime up in Canada but wow if that’s a taste of what summer is going to be like I want out now lol well time to go for now see ya again on June 17th!

Happy new year! Hope 2023 will bring us peace and prosperity! Week 5 is all about growth. Im amazed by Mimosa’s pace. Every morning I’m opening the tent to a bigger stronger plant. Had issues with much higher PH in runoff compared to input (6.5 vs 5.8) and thanks to Roberts and GrowingGrannie i came to solving the issue by increasing the EC. FYI - in coco coir: higher PH in runoff means girls are hungry and need to be fed. Lower PH - overfeeding. Learning everyday! Today (day 35) started seeing a little bit of yellow tips on top so reduced the ec to 1.75 and gave the 4 liter each with 25% runoff. I’m running out of space for mimosa, i was not expecting her to grow so much. Need to consider a 100*100 tent and a bigger light of course. But prolly will keep the existing setup and just stick to growing 1-2 plants at a time i/o 4 right now. Mimosa is preparing for flowering, started giving her Canna Boost and seeing white hairs all over, she confirmed she is a lady :) Cookies is a little behind in height but i believe she’ll catch up. Mr wolf now has a swing and can chill in the shade. Week 6 will start watering every day. Thanks you, growmies, for being the best community in the world. Love you! Peace. Ps How to get the diary in “recommended” Its seems that my first diary was exposed much more. Just curious how the algorithm works.

Defoliated and flipped to 12/12 Slight stretch. Plants didn’t like that I only gave them half veg nutes and half bloom. They look nitrogen deficient. They’ve also shown some calcium deficiency i believe. The uprising foundation is cal mag and sulfur mostly I believe. So it’s good to have

Questa settimana si è slanciata veramente molto! Me lo aspettavo già in quanto non è la prima volta che la coltivo, ecco perché ho deciso precedentemente di effettuare 3 topping consecutivi! Ha reagito veramente molto bene ha continuato la sua vegetazione normalmente senza blocchi e durante la 4 settimana si prepara per il fiore! Adoro le genetiche di Fast buds! Ancor di più la FORBIDDEN RUNTZ AUTO! Per questo ciclo di crescita ho voluto fare un cambio radicale nella sua dieta, ho cambiato marca di fertilizzanti passando da plagron (con il quale collaboravo a CANNABOOM!) semplicemente perché ho potuto constatare i loro pregiatissimi prodotti! Dopo un accurato studio si ogni componente ho voluto fare questo cambio....che dire!!! Menomale!!! Raga veramente dopo la seconda applicazione la pianta e praticamente esplosa in ogni suo potenziale ,parli veramente di ogni cosa! Altezza, Internodi , calici sparsi ovunque, si iniziano a intravedere intricominsulle foglie a ventaglio!!!! Le foglie sono grandi quanto la mia mano😂 ho fatto un po' di pulizia fogliare e per adesso la lascerò crescere così togliendo solo qualche foglia qua e la ogni tanto quando ci sarà bisogno... ringrazio molto cannaboom per i loro prodotti che volevo consigliare a tutti voi e vorrei ringraziare anche fast buds per questa genetiche che non finisce mai di sorprendermi! E poi....ci siete tutti voi! Grazie mille ad ognuno di voi! 🌈💥💪🏼🌱

July 7 start of week 9 first week of transition to flowering. July 8th I sprayed some (FSW) fermented sea water with (FPJ) fermented plant juice and (LABS)lactic acid bacteria as a foliage spray. Sprayed 2 hours before the lights came on. July 9th the girls loved the spray I made for them on the 8th July 12th I sprayed with WS-CAPO water soluble calcium potassium Foliage spray.

Great week for Growth. 3” added to my highest branches and all my tops. I’m anticipating week 1 of bloom will be either next week or first week of September so today 8/20/20 I started a flush with water all day no nutes no additives and going all day tomorrow then to the bud igniter and Sensi coco bloom until I see pistils.

Started one seed of Cherry Bomb popped in 48 hours. The seedling took off from there. I just used tap water and paper towel to germinate. We are at 7 days today, and she is looking good. Picked up a 32x32x63 tent for this grow. Currently I have her in my aero garden which has done wonders for me, and my hydro set up. As she grows I will move her into a 5 gal bucket for hydro. We will use a 450w viparspectra LED for this grow. I am using a small amount of nutes in the reservoir, as always I am using general hrdroponics flora trio cal mag, and silica.
