Overall Development Week 4 marks the transition into mid-flower. Stretch has mostly stopped, and the plants are now directing energy into bud formation. The canopy remains uneven, with some taller, thinner phenotypes and others more compact and structured. Bud sites are clearly established across all main branches. Flower stacking is progressing steadily, and early cluster formation is visible on the tops. Plant Health & Observations • Significant yellowing on older fan leaves, especially mid-to-lower canopy. • Some plants appear pale green overall, indicating high nutrient demand during bulk transition. • One or two phenotypes remain darker green and structurally stronger. • Lower interior growth is lighter and less vigorous. • Selective removal of old yellow leaves was continued to improve airflow and light penetration. Despite visible leaf fade, bud development continues actively. Bud Development • Flower clusters are expanding and beginning to connect along the stems. • Pistil production is strong and consistent. • Buds are not yet dense but are clearly transitioning into the bulk phase. • Resin production is beginning to increase. This week represents the start of the main swelling period. Environmental Adjustments • Temperature reduced slightly (~1°C) to stabilize the flowering environment. • Airflow maintained across canopy level. • Canopy density moderately thinned to prevent moisture buildup. • Light coverage remains strong across the upper layer. Current Focus (Entering Week 5) • Support nutrient demand during bulk phase. • Prevent excessive early leaf loss. • Maintain stable humidity to protect developing flowers. • Monitor weaker phenotypes closely for further decline or nutrient imbalance. Overall, the crop is entering the critical mid-flower stage. The next two weeks will determine final bud density and structure.

Week 4 is in the books! I flushed this girl the other week and got her soil up from 5.2 to 6.0, but it looks like it's back down in the 5.5 range. I'm starting to notice some deficiencies pop up, so just waiting for my new water jug to come in the mail so I can give this girl a proper 3x flush (have only been able to flush with 3 gallons each time, which is definitely not helping my situation). Just want to get this girl under control so she can finish strong, and those buds can develop nicely. OH, and she's still been stretching, but as I finish up day 28 today, it looks like that may have stopped. I can only hope :)

Harvest day 64 Hey guys :-) Finally it was time to harvest :-) . This time I did wet trimming again. For the next plants I will dry upside down. They were cut by habd and placed on nets. The fruit stays constant at 62% until it goes into jars to ferment.

Hey people. So far everything looks good. I highly doubt that any lady here will be as productive as one of my “Runtz”. But we'll see. Have a nice week everyone.

Week 4

I didn´t expect for her to stay alive. After toppin, she keeps goin 🤭😅 25/08 LST on the main stem 30/08 LST on side node If she doesn´t get into flowering, I can let her grow this slowly for another few weeks, then I can do her a 12-12 inside the tent. If she has a nice size...

2/17: I spent a little time rearranging today. I bought some 32" x 14" plastic ventilated storage shelves and cut the legs down on two of them so I have some different-height platforms for the shorties in the garden. I should also be able to easily flush 6 plants in 5 gallon pots, or 9 plants in 3 gallon pots at a time now, that's a win!👈 2/18: I debated whether to feed or not, and settled on watering them with about 1/2 gallon each. including bembe, cal-mag, signal, humic acid, and a little beastie bloomz. The new dehumidifier is pulling about a gallon and a half per day from the air, so I should be able to feed them in a coupe of days. I've reached the ceiling again with my lights. The Soooperrunt has caught up to the tallest plant in the garden. She's very narrow compared to the rest, but she'll produce 100% more than I ever imagined, so that's a win! These three plants remain very dark green in color compared to all the other varieties. 2/19: Rainy day outside, so I'm pulling in 99% humidity, plus the pots are still petty saturated, but the new dehumidifier is keeping up. RH is holding at about 45% today.👍 2/20: Day 31 of flower...a semi-solution occurred to me that allowed me to raise the lights another 3-4 inches! Now I'm truly maxxed out... 2 of them have been slow to flower did a 300% stretch, but the 3rd is budding up nicely and only did a 200% stretch. Soooperrunt has stretched 30" from when I started flowering her...yikes! I really needed everybody to finish in the same week so I could get my Spring autos going...😶 I'm still hoping that they will get their groove-on and finish by the EHD(3/11), but it's not looking possible at this point... They're likely to be good producers, so I'm not bitching too loudly.. I took photos and videos of all the plants today since I had to empty the closet and it wasn't a feeding day. 2/21: I fed them today with about 3/4 gallon each including beastie bloomz, tiger bloom, big bloom, signal, bembe, and cal-mag...no grow big this time. 2/22: The darkest green plants in the garden. Wonderful structure, stacking up really well. Their top leaves really reach for the sun. My current favorites.👍 2/23: I ordered some Terpinator because I'm not so sure about Signal's efficacy at this point....I'm usually dealing with odors more by now..😕 That's it for week 9-

We have successfully made it through week 5. The Runtz genetics continue to show strong growth—this plant literally grows before your eyes every day. As soon as some shoots are removed, the plant starts developing even more vigorously. The only one that seems a bit neglected is the third plant in the last row. This week, I’ll try to weave the main shoots into the net more effectively. I suspect that due to the varying plant sizes, it’s not getting enough light. None of the three plants have shown any pistils yet, which I personally think is a good sign, as it allows them to focus on growing in height and width first. There are still slight mineral deficiencies visible in the leaves, but I am counteracting this by increasing fertilizer and using foliar spray.

Hello everyone friends farm Welcome Back ! We lowered this beautiful girl's apex peak!

Ok

These ladies have blown up since last week almost tripled the size in 7 days. I'm thinking that the new soil I'm using is better than what I previously used which was roots organic 707 now I'm using FoxFarms happy frog. Other than that watering with half the normal dose of nutrients for now until they use up the nutes in the soil. Temperature never moves at a steady 72° F all day and night even with the lights on. I can tell these are going to produce some nice thick flowers 🌿💚

It is week three of flowering, and the net has been installed. Both ladies have also been defoliated. I am very happy with how things are going so far. Let's hope for buds as big as lemons!

GENERAL COMMENT The SKR is dry and starting the cure in jars, and the NL is done. RQS NORTHERN LIGHTS AUTO COMMENT. This is the final week, next time will be the harvest, this girl just got mature from a day to the other, lost 70% of the top bud due to rot i haven t seen. So i could get virtually 30-40% yield from this girl Without the locks or rot, anyhow still looking ok as far as harvest, quality will be a bit compromise, not the end of times though lol! 🙃👊🏻👍🏻

Week 14/4 - 20/4

Einfacher Anbau, Geschmack nach Zitrone und Pfirsich, Kompakte Knospen und ein Guter Ertrag. Schnelle Blütezeit! Auch den hohen THC Gehalt merkt man direkt! Lohnenswert🌱💚

🚂 Cash Express – Pheno A Week 7 | Small Plant, Big Personality Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 If this is your first visit to the diary, welcome! This project follows twelve different cultivars growing together under exactly the same conditions. Every plant shares the same environment, lighting, irrigation system and nutrient solution, allowing genetics to be the real variable. Watching each phenotype develop its own personality under identical conditions continues to be one of the most fascinating parts of this journey. Cash Express Pheno A continues growing under a strict 12/12 light schedule from seed beneath the Future of Grow Black Series LED, and once again she's proving that size has very little to do with beauty. She may be one of the smaller plants in the tent... But she's quickly becoming one of my favourites to photograph. ──────────────────────────── 🌸 Flower Development Flowering continues progressing beautifully this week. The fresh white pistils are multiplying rapidly and every flowering site is beginning to stack with much more confidence. What started as tiny clusters only a short time ago are now clearly becoming proper bud sites. The stretch has slowed considerably compared to previous weeks, allowing the plant to focus more of her energy on flower production. She's no longer trying to become taller. She's focused on becoming prettier. Every day the structure becomes a little more defined, making it easier to imagine what she'll look like a few weeks from now. ──────────────────────────── 🌿 Small... But Absolutely Beautiful Cash Express Pheno A belongs to the smaller group of plants inside the tent. She's compact, elegant and has never tried to compete with the taller girls surrounding her. Instead, she's building an incredibly balanced structure with evenly spaced flowering sites and a canopy that's a pleasure to observe. Sometimes we naturally associate bigger plants with bigger expectations. This little lady reminds us that's not always the case. Her architecture is outstanding. Every branch seems perfectly positioned, every flower receives excellent exposure, and the entire plant has developed into a very symmetrical little bush. I'm genuinely excited to see where she goes from here. ──────────────────────────── 💡 A Little Help From Below One advantage of her compact stature is the way she benefits from the under-canopy lighting. Being slightly further away from the main overhead fixtures than some of the taller plants, the LumiFlora under-canopy lights help illuminate the lower flowering sites, ensuring those developing buds continue receiving quality light from beneath the canopy as well. It's one of the advantages of combining overhead lighting with under-canopy illumination. Instead of allowing the lower flowers to live in permanent shade, they receive additional energy exactly where it's needed. It will be very interesting to see how much this contributes to flower development as the weeks progress. ──────────────────────────── 🌡️ Environment The flowering room continues running under stable conditions, allowing every cultivar to focus entirely on flower production. 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% 🥥 Root zone temperature: 21°C 💦 Nutrient solution temperature: 22°C ⚗️ pH: 5.8 ⚡ EC: 1.95 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 Consistency continues being one of the biggest reasons the entire room is developing so evenly despite the huge genetic diversity. ──────────────────────────── 🌱 Feeding The AutoPot system continues supplying fresh nutrient solution whenever the plants request it, keeping the root zone stable and eliminating the need for scheduled watering. This week's reservoir consisted of: Plagron Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L pH adjusted to 5.8 The plant continues responding beautifully to this feeding programme, maintaining healthy foliage while steadily increasing flower production across the entire canopy. ──────────────────────────── 📸 Behind the Lens This week's photographs really capture why I enjoy this phenotype so much. The close-up images highlight beautiful clusters of fresh white pistils, while the wider shots reveal a plant that's incredibly balanced from top to bottom. She's not flashy. She's simply elegant. One of my favourite photographs this week shows just how evenly every branch has developed, creating a canopy that almost seems designed rather than grown. Sometimes the smallest plants become the most photogenic ones. And I think Cash Express Pheno A is quietly proving exactly that. ──────────────────────────── 🔍 Looking Ahead The coming weeks should become increasingly exciting. Now that the stretch is slowing down, I expect the flowers to begin stacking much more aggressively while resin production gradually starts increasing. I'm especially curious to see how this compact structure responds as the buds gain weight. Will she produce short, chunky flowers? Or will she surprise us with longer spears than her structure currently suggests? Only time will answer that question. For now, I'll continue giving her exactly what she needs and simply enjoy watching her story unfold one week at a time. ──────────────────────────── 💚 Thank You Thank you so much to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Every week these diaries remind me that every plant deserves to tell its own story, regardless of whether it's the biggest, the tallest or the fastest in the room. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a place where growers from around the world can learn from one another and share their passion. Thank you to Zamnesia for these wonderful Cash Express genetics that continue to reveal new surprises every week. Thank you to Plagron for providing the nutrition that supports every stage of this grow. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for delivering the powerful overhead lighting that drives this project from seed to harvest. A special thank you to LumiFlora for the excellent under-canopy lighting, helping ensure every flowering site has the opportunity to develop to its full potential. And of course, thank you to AutoPot for making irrigation effortless while allowing the plants themselves to decide exactly when they want to drink. Finally, thank you to everyone reading, commenting and following this adventure. Your support makes this project even more rewarding, and I hope these diaries continue helping and inspiring growers around the world. Growers Love, and I'll see you all next week as Cash Express Pheno A continues proving that sometimes the smallest plants have the biggest personalities. 💚🚂🌱

Excited for the flowering phase. So far plants seem to be very healthy. They’re stretching noticeably now every day. A few white hairs coming along. Smell isn’t loud seems to be coming along shortly.

War nicht viel los. Die Crit stand im Dunkeln und der Topf war furztrocken.

Started adding fertilizers Divine Grow. Nice! I like it
