05.04.21 Anfang der 3ten blüte Woche.Hab mich jetzt dazu entschieden das biegen und binden ein zu stellen natürlich halte ich weiter die Blätter unter dem netzt aber ich erlaube den Ladys jetzt durch das Netz auf zu steigen hab ja noch genügend Platz nach oben(hoffe ich). Das Wachstum is immer noch ziemlich stark ich denke mal das wird sich diese Woche auch nicht wirklich viel dran ändern und sie zieht vom trinken her stark an hab anfang der ersten woche 1x 4l mit Zusätzen gegossen und das hat 7 Tage gehalten bin jetzt an Tag 15 und muss alle 4 Tage 4l giessen gutes Zeichen denke ich mal..... 06.04.21 hab heute nur Blätter unters netzt gesteckt und schon von meinem nächsten Grow geträumt..... 07.04.21 wieder ein Tag vergangen und mehr als Blätter unterm Netz halten und hier und da mal ein Blatt entfernen war heut auch wieder nicht los... 08.04.21 heute war mal wieder bewässern dran und das tägliche Spiel Blätter weg stecken sonnst war nix weiter..... 09.04.21 hab das gefühl das das Wachstum anfängt sich ein zu stellen und Blätter hab ich heut wieder unters netzt gebogen was das hoch drücken der Blätter betrifft sind die Ladys ziemlich stark und eigenwillig gehe 2x täglich runter drücken unters netz werde nächstes mal eine kürzere Maschen weite fürs netz nehmen dachte 10 cm ist genug platz aber 5 cm pro Kästchen sollten sicher auch reichen das macht das spiel mit dem biegen und binden sicherlich einfacher und lässt die Blätter besser an Ort und Stelle Ach ja und ein paar Blätter hab ich heute noch entfernt ist aber auch bald mal Ende mit Blätter entfernen ich will sie nicht zu stark stressen... 10.04.21 Blätter unterm netz halten knapp 2 Std einige Blätter entfernt die von unten gegen die buds drücken sonnst war nix.... 11.04.21 hab heute wieder mal nur Blätter unters netzt gedrückt und den Pflanzen beim wachsen zu geschaut die Woche lief super bin echt stolz auf mich das ich die Finger so gut von der schere lassen könnte die letzten 21 Tage hab das netzt mal fast voll bekommen obwohl ich zu geben muss das die Masse die da wächst mir angst macht vor schimmel im späteren Verlauf des grows....

420Fastbuds-Week 6 StrawberryGorillaAuto What up grow fam. Weekly update on these 3 beautiful 😍 ladies. They got moved over to the flower tent this week. Temperatures have gone up tremendously since it seems summer weather has finally got here. Over all they seem to be handling it OK. I'll most likely do a defoliation this week thinning it out to allow more air flow. All in all Happy Growing

Another good week!! I need to LST and defoliate... probably going to do that tomorrow. I fed them this week as well as watered. I will add the flowering nutrients going forward!! Otherwise, I hope this grow continues to go well!! Cheers!!

🌱 Sour Diesel — Week 7 From Seed (Week 2 Flower) Quick Recap (for context) This Sour Diesel has had a tougher road compared to the rest of the room. Earlier in the cycle, she was hit by a combination of: • Colder external temperatures • Environmental instability during early development • Slower initial adaptation compared to her sisters She never fully enjoyed the colder phase, and recovery has been slow but steady, not explosive. This update reflects a plant that is stabilizing, not one that is racing. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment Update • Day temperature: ~28 °C (successfully raised and now stable) • Humidity: ~65% • PPFD: ~600–850 (depending on height and position) • CO₂: ~900 ppm (now stabilizing around ~909 ppm) As outside temperatures remained low, the room naturally became its own heat source due to: • Increased plant mass • Higher light intensity • Addition of under-canopy lighting No forced heaters. No extremes. Just letting the system balance itself naturally. 🌬️ Airflow • Vortex extraction • Multiple cross-flow fans • Constant, gentle air movement No leaf chaos — just steady motion. ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Nutrition Strategy This week marks a clear transition phase. • EC: ~2.4 • pH: 6.5 (now transitioning downward — all feeds moving toward 6.0+) Why a Slightly Higher pH Right Now? As plants enter early flower, demand shifts: • Improved Ca / Mg uptake • Stronger P & K availability • Increased root activity A slightly higher pH during this moment supports: • Structural development • Flower initiation • Stability under higher PPFD and CO₂ Nutrient Transition • Terra Grow → flowering nutrients • Supporting the hormonal shift from stretch → stack • Minor signs of possible Ca/Mg demand observed → already being addressed → nothing severe or alarming (Reference images included above for transparency.) ⸻ 🌸 Flowering Progress & Current State She is flowering — slowly, which is expected after stress. Important clarification: • Week 7 from seed • Week 2 of flower This slower pace is not a failure — it’s a recovery-driven transition. She’s prioritizing balance before expression. Leaves are not “happy” in the Instagram sense, but they are: • Responsive • Stable • Not deteriorating That matters more right now. ⸻ 🌍 Seasonal Reality Outside conditions remain harsh: • Temperatures around 4–5 °C • Humidity consistently 90%+ • Full winter conditions The room itself is stable and dialed. The rest of the garden is thriving under these conditions. Because of that: • We are not changing the whole room for one plant • Instead, Sour Diesel receives extra attention and care • The environment remains optimal for the majority of the crop Adaptation goes both ways — plants and growers. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (and What Not to) What we expect: • Continued stabilization • Gradual stacking over the coming weeks • Expression that comes late, not loud What we don’t expect: • Explosive stretch • Perfect symmetry • A “pretty” early flower phase This phase is critical because it determines: • Whether the plant commits energy to survival or production • How much it can realistically give later on Right now, the goal is completion, not competition. ⸻ 🙏 Closing Thanks Huge thanks to: • The genetics creators • The nutrient partners • The GrowDiaries platform for providing a space where growers can document, learn, and interact • The community — OGs, newcomers, supporters, skeptics, lovers, haters — all part of the journey Growing is adaptation. Winter reminds us of that every day.

Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Upped the nutrient levels a little this week and she is starting to show crystals on the leafs :)

07.07. Day 36-Day flowering 19# As for the autos, i'm changing the title to "dwarf" lol I was not at all satisfied with the vegetation, even less so with the stretching... as far as that is concerned the stretching is not much different from last week, they are only 5 cm bigger,streching is over,they also branched badly, although they were under heat stress almost the whole week, but let's move on. Yesterday was the end of their fifth week.

Still in starter pots, I'll repot them soon.

Just as difficult to grow as the first time I done Afghan kush but still managed to get some nice purple bud out of it!!!

Despite the return of some rain (finally! 😊), temperatures are still high, once again reaching close to 30°C around midday. This weather seems to suit my Strawberry, whose stretch is slowing down, while her buds are now visibly starting to develop. The leaves in the greenhouse are becoming supple again. I kept the feeding very light throughout the week, and the substrate feels more aerated today. I’m still keeping things modest for a few more days before increasing the P and K.

happy day my friends, because little space I decided to put two of the three in bloom, the 3 girls I want to grow it again for a while. Today the first day of flowering 12/12, they are beautiful full they will make many buds

Will update details soon

Day 65. Heavy training in progress ... All done, hopefully not many natural protectors lost, took about 30 liters bag full off leaves and shoots, could do like 100 clones easy ;))) All girls lolitoped, cleared, defoliated, rewired, some had supercroping. Skunks were happy when last Cheese was done, so i think/hope - all will go smooth. This time i really cleared them a lot, maybe the most in my career ... Cheeses performed thicker and more stacked branches . Fun is starting !!! Day 66. Got my last puzzle of protection against thrips. I think i beat them already, yesterday haven't noticed any thrips on leaves, but i am old and blind ;))) They where ordered a week ago, so just in case ... Girls look just fabulous !!! I think it will be very nice harvest by bag appeal, hopefully weight will make me smile too ;)))) I still think to strip them hard at the end of week 5 or week 6 if they will delay in progress .... At the moment they are just perfect ! Day 69. Here comes my moan ;)) Stretch was not so big as i expected, looks like 80 is more real target than 100. They look very nice and healthy and i beaten thrips , but this time i cleared too much i feel ;))))) Future will show ... Happy Growing !!!

Dia 29. Tengo una invasión de mosquitas de humedad. Voy a tratatlas con phitonat plus y con BTI. Por el momento las plantas vienen muy bien. Hice una defoliacion muy grande y dejé expuestas a la luz todas las flores. La temperatura de la solución empezó a subir siendo que ya estamos entrando en primavera, pero por ahora lo tengo controlado. Lo que me preocupa es la plaga, así que voy a intentar resolverlo lo antes posible.

week 1 down. we move

6/9 fed. 6/11 attempted to water but I'm holding off to see what we get for rain. Things are finally looking up. Very frustrating not being able to load vids. 6/12 first video uploaded. 6/13 still doing research and trying to decide whether or not to move the grow. My cousin seems to think things are fine. I've still got research to do. Camera app went down for a bit but everything is up and running. Plants are looking good! 6/14 watered and Fed plants 3tsp big bloom. 1tsp grow big, 1tsp calmag, 1/2 micro brew, 1/2 kangoroots. Plants are greatly improving. I still see some wind burn. I've gotten mixed reviews on whether or not to move the entire grow. Local seasoned growers and family members that have seen the setup and location tell me to leave it where it is. People online seem to think it's better to move the entire grow. I'm leaning towards the "if it's not broke dont fix it" attitude. Any suggestions are greatly welcomed.

Last feeding, I have lowered the nuts as I observe that the plant has reached the maximum tolerable level of fertilizer and is approaching the end of its cycle. The buds have become denser and are as hard as rocks 🤤😍 . It smells amazing. At the next watering I will begin to wash the roots.

Very easy and flavorful strain to grow. Pleased with how she turned out and the smoke/smell is definitely something weird and unique. Some chemical fruit with a little bit of sour/sweet. Definitely will grow this again. Happy growing 🌴

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno B Week 7 | Stealing the Spotlight Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! This week belongs to Chem Brûlée Pheno B. Some plants quietly move through each stage without drawing too much attention. Others somehow make you stop every time you walk into the room. This girl has become one of those plants. She isn't the biggest in the room, nor is she trying to compete for height alone, but everything about her feels... right. She's growing with elegance. Every internode is spaced beautifully, every branch has found its place, and from the base of the plant all the way to the main top, the leaf formation is simply gorgeous. She's entering the fourth week of flower exactly where she should be. Not behind. Not ahead. Just perfectly on schedule. If plants carried calendars, she'd be checking every box. 🌿 A Phenotype Finding Her Rhythm One of the goals of this project is seeing how twelve different cultivars express themselves while sharing exactly the same environment. Chem Brûlée Pheno B is becoming one of my favourites to observe because she's making everything look effortless. Standing around 130 cm tall, she has developed into a beautiful, elegant plant with long, healthy branches and excellent internodal spacing. The open structure allows light to reach deep into the canopy while maintaining fantastic airflow between the branches. It's the kind of architecture growers hope for but can't always create through training alone. Sometimes genetics simply do the work for you. 🌼 Buds Beginning to Tell the Story This week the flowers have taken another noticeable step forward. Every growing tip is now covered with fresh white pistils, and the individual bud sites are beginning to connect into what will soon become long, stacked colas. The stretch is gradually slowing down as more energy is redirected into flower production. The main top has become more defined, while the secondary branches are quickly catching up, creating a very balanced canopy from top to bottom. She's no longer just showing flowers. She's beginning to build them. Watching this transition happen is always one of my favourite parts of the flowering cycle. 🌱 Letting Genetics Shine Very little intervention has been needed this week. Apart from a little leaf tucking and allowing the branches to spread naturally, she's been left to do what she does best. The AutoPot system continues doing an outstanding job, delivering consistent moisture and nutrition around the clock. It's amazing how relaxed plants become when they never have to wonder when their next drink is coming. Combined with the stable environment inside the room, this phenotype has been able to focus entirely on growing instead of recovering from unnecessary stress. Sometimes the best technique is simply creating the perfect conditions and stepping back. 🍽️ Feeding This week's feeding consisted of: • Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L Along with small pH adjustments using Lemon Kick and pH Plus whenever required. The nutrient increase made this week was applied to the entire reservoir, and Chem Brûlée Pheno B has responded exactly as hoped, maintaining beautiful colour and healthy, vigorous growth throughout the canopy. 🌡️ Environment Stable conditions continue making all the difference. • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • pH: 5.8 • EC: 1.95 mS/cm • Solution temperature: 24°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂: 639 ppm Keeping these parameters consistent allows every phenotype to express its full potential without unnecessary environmental stress. The room is working exactly as intended, and this plant is making the most of it. 📸 Behind This Week's Photos Looking through this week's photographs, it's impossible not to appreciate how naturally elegant this phenotype has become. The close-up images highlight fresh clusters of white pistils forming at every node, while the wider shots reveal a beautifully symmetrical plant with outstanding spacing from the bottom branches all the way to the top cola. One of my favourite details is the leaf structure. Every fan leaf seems perfectly positioned without overcrowding the canopy, creating a plant that's not only healthy but incredibly photogenic. Sometimes a plant doesn't need to shout to stand out. She simply grows beautifully. 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect the vertical stretch to come to an end as Chem Brûlée Pheno B shifts her full attention toward flower production. The individual bud sites should begin merging together, the pistil count will continue increasing, and the first real signs of bud stacking should become much more noticeable. The plan remains exactly the same. Maintain the environment. Keep the AutoPot reservoir stable. Continue observing. And let this beautiful phenotype keep telling her own story. So far... She's absolutely stealing the spotlight. 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Whether you're here to learn, compare phenotypes, improve your own garden, or simply enjoy following along, I'm incredibly grateful to have you sharing this journey. Special thanks to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a home where growers from around the world can share knowledge and inspire one another. 🍮 Zamnesia for the outstanding Chem Brûlée genetics making this phenotype hunt possible. 🌱 Plagron for providing the nutrition supporting every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering powerful, consistent lighting from seed to harvest. 🌿 LumiFlora for helping illuminate the lower canopy and ensuring every potential flower site receives the light it deserves. 🌡️ TrolMaster for maintaining a stable environment around the clock. 💧 AutoPot for making irrigation effortless and allowing these plants to grow at their own natural rhythm. And finally... Thank you to every grower, supporter, silent reader, friend, and curious visitor who follows these diaries week after week. Your encouragement and conversations make sharing this journey incredibly rewarding. I'll see you all next week as Chem Brûlée Pheno B continues showing exactly why phenotype hunts are so fascinating. Sometimes perfection isn't about being the biggest plant in the room... It's about growing exactly as nature intended. Growers Love, and happy growing everyone. 🌱🍮💚

- Day 57 Noticed quite a dramatic drop in pH today, went from 6.0 to 5.3 in one day. I noticed one of my bubblers was blocked, put in a new one and it's fixed now, hope the issue was due to that. the plant is doing good otherwise. Brought the pH back up to 6.2 now. Day 58 Was happy to see today that the pH drift has been fixed! Seems like the broken bubbler was the problem. pH only dropped down to 6.1 today. I topped the reservoir up with some 6.1 pH water to keep it there. Happy this is fixed now . Day 59 Sadly the water bubbler was not the issue :/. pH dropped down again from 6.1 to 5.3. I fear that she is just drinking so much compared to how small the water reservoir is, which makes the nutrient concentration very strong, brining down the pH. I did a res change today, Let's see what it looks like tomorrow. Day 60 pH went up to 6.5 today after the water res change, which seems to be how it always goes. It goes up the first 1-2 days then it drops hard the next days after. I gave it 6.1pH water today topped the res up more than usual because I will be gone for 2 days, hopefully the pH will stay somewhat stable until I get back. Day 62 Back from my long weekend! The reservoir still had about 1 liter in it, she been drinking a lot. Came home and immediately refilled the reservoir. Noticed pH had also dropped so 5.1!! With the newly added water now it's sitting at 5.9 now. Seems like she is doing well however. Some of the of lower fan leaves yellowed a lot more but that is probably due to all the flowers developing right now. Day 63 Water topped up again with 1.5 liters of pH 6.6 water, which brought the pH back up to 6.1.
