๐Ÿฎ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 13 ๐ŸŒธ Chem Brรปlรฉe โ€“ Pheno A ๐Ÿ”ฅ The Wild Girl Is Rushing Toward The Finish Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And here she is again... Our Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A. But honestly... I think we're going to have to stop calling her just "Chem Brรปlรฉe." Because this girl has become a little beast. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿฎ She's wild. She's moving fast. She's developing quickly. She's changing visibly. And now... she's starting to look like a plant that's very seriously thinking about the final chapter. The flowers are getting bigger. The main cola is absolutely huge. The hairs are changing. The leaves are beginning to fade. And the entire plant is giving us that unmistakable feeling: "Okay... we're getting close now." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š This girl isn't hanging around. She's moving. Fast. And I absolutely love watching it. So this week, we're going to give this beast the spotlight she deserves. Let's make her shine. ๐Ÿฎโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ 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”ฅ The Beast Is Awake Let's start with the obvious. This girl is moving. And she's moving fast. Last week we were already talking about her entering the final chapter. This week? She's making that chapter much easier to see. The plant is changing. The flowers are becoming increasingly mature. The pistils are changing colour. The foliage is beginning to fade. And the overall structure is starting to look like she's preparing herself for the final stretch. She's not slowing down. She's not sitting there waiting for us. She's doing what she does. Growing. Building. Maturing. And apparently... trying to finish the story before some of her neighbours even get to the interesting part. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ”ฅ Fair enough, girl. We're watching. 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 That Main Cola... WOW Okay. We have to talk about this. Because the main cola on this girl is HUGE. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ Seriously. It's one of those flowers where you look at the plant and immediately your eyes go straight toward it. It's massive. It's substantial. It's beautifully developed. And now that the plant is starting to mature around it, that main cola becomes even more impressive. The structure is there. The density is there. The flower is there. And she's still hanging in there beautifully. No drama. No complaints. Just one enormous Chem Brรปlรฉe flower sitting there saying: "Yeah... I built this." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ’š And honestly? She has every right to be proud of it. 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 She's Starting To Fade Another big change this week is the foliage. She's starting to fade. And in the context of everything else we're seeing, that makes perfect sense. The plant is moving further into maturity. The flowers are developing. The pistils are changing. The overall appearance is shifting. And now we're beginning to see the leaves changing along with the rest of the plant. This is one of those moments where you really appreciate having weekly photographs. Because the transition isn't always dramatic from one day to the next. But compare the plant with where she was a few weeks ago... and suddenly you realize: "Oh damn. She's really moving." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š The beautiful green we were looking at earlier is now gradually giving way to the colours of a plant approaching the end of her journey. And I'm enjoying watching every part of it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ? The Hairs Are Changing And the pistils are joining the conversation. We're seeing more and more colour coming through those beautiful flowers. The fresh white hairs from earlier stages are gradually being replaced by more mature-looking tones. Cream. Yellow. Orange. Brown. And increasingly curled-in pistils. ?๐ŸŒธ Again, we're not using pistil colour alone to decide anything. The plant is the complete picture. But when you combine those changing hairs with: ๐ŸŒธ Bigger flowers โ„๏ธ Increasing resin ๐ŸŒฟ Fading foliage ๐Ÿ”ฅ Mature-looking structures ๐Ÿฎ Overall progression ...the message becomes pretty clear. She's moving toward the finish. And she's doing it 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”€ โ„๏ธ The Frost Is Still There Of course... we can't talk about Chem Brรปlรฉe without talking about the frost. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ Because even while the plant is changing and beginning to fade, the flowers are still looking beautiful under the camera. That resin continues to give her that sparkling character. Move closer... and you see it. The sugar leaves. The flower surfaces. The little details. The texture. The resin. All those tiny details that disappear when you're standing across the room. And this is why I love taking her into the studio. The full plant tells us the story. The close-ups tell us the details. And together... they show us exactly how far this girl has come. 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ฎ Same Girl โ€” Completely Herself One thing I really appreciate about Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A is that she never needed to become the biggest or most spectacular plant in the room to be interesting. She has simply been herself. And now we're seeing exactly what that means. She's wild. She's fast. She's got a huge main cola. She's developing beautiful flowers. She's changing colour. She's fading. She's getting closer. And she's doing all of it in her own way. That's what phenotype hunting is about. We're not asking: "Can we make every plant look the same?" We're asking: "What does THIS plant do?" And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A has answered that question very clearly. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ”ฅ She does whatever the hell she wants. 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 for the first time... welcome to the 8ร—8 Adventure. Twelve plants. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. One shared room. One general environmental strategy. One 12/12 lighting schedule. One irrigation philosophy. One nutritional program. One lighting ecosystem. One grower. And twelve completely different expressions. That's the magic. Because look at Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A. She's moving fast. She's fading. She's changing her pistils. She's carrying a huge main cola. And she's approaching the final stage. Meanwhile, somewhere else in the room, another phenotype may be doing something completely different. Same room. Same photons. Same ecosystem. Different genetics. Different personality. Different timeline. And that's exactly what we came here to discover. 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 Artificial Sun The lighting setup remains exactly the same across the room. Our Future of Grow Black Series LEDs continue providing the artificial sun. The two additional Black Series 600W fixtures remain part of the setup. And we're still controlling the output rather than simply running everything flat out. ๐Ÿ”Œ Approximately 59% from the plug with around: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy The intensity naturally changes throughout the canopy depending on plant height and position. And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A? She's making damn good use of those photons. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ”ฅ She's taking that light and turning it into flowers. A lot of flowers. And one hell of a main cola. 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 Same Photons โ€” Different Interpretation This is still one of my favourite parts of the entire 8ร—8 Adventure. We give them the same opportunity. The plants decide what to do with it. Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some build huge branches. Some build dense flowers. Some take their time. Some move incredibly fast. And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A? She's basically saying: "Thank you for the photons. I'll turn them into a monster cola." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ”ฅ And honestly... I'm not complaining. A huge thank you once again to Future of Grow for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for this experiment. Having more lighting capability while being able to control the actual output has been a fascinating part of watching these different phenotypes develop. 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 Same Feeding โ€” But We May Be Near The End The nutritional program remains consistent with the rest of the room for now. Current recipe: ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Pure Zym โ€” 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ Plagron pH Plus โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐Ÿ‹ Plagron Lemon Kick โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐ŸŒธ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€” 2 ml/L ๐ŸŒฟ Plagron Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L ๐Ÿฏ Plagron Sugar Royal โ€” 1 ml/L Current solution strength: โšก EC ~2.05 mS/cm But... I think we're getting very close to making another decision. Because this girl is moving quickly. She's fading. She's changing. She's showing increasingly mature flowers. And we're approaching the point where we may stop the feeding program for her very soon. Not today. Not just because the calendar says so. But because we're watching the plant. And the plant is giving us information. She's telling us: "I'm getting close." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฎ๐ŸŒธ So we're listening. 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  The Plant Gets The Final Vote This is something I've repeated throughout this entire adventure. And it becomes even more important now. The calendar says Week 13. The plant says: "Look at me." ๐Ÿ˜‚ So we look. We look at the flowers. We look at the pistils. We look at the foliage. We look at the resin. We look at the overall structure. And then we decide what comes next. I'm not interested in forcing a plant into a schedule just because a number on the calendar says we should. She's alive. She's changing. She's communicating. And right now... she's communicating very loudly. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿฎ "I'm getting close." Message received. 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 Stable Room โ€” Stable Plants And just like the rest of the reports this week... we're keeping the room stable. No unnecessary changes. No dramatic interventions. No sudden environmental swings. The ecosystem is working. The plants are responding. And Chem Brรปlรฉe is moving beautifully. So we continue. Observe. Maintain. Document. Enjoy. And adjust when the plant actually tells us it's time. At this stage, there's no reason to create work just for the sake of doing something. She's already doing enough work herself. ๐Ÿ˜‚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”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 13 โ€” CURRENT ROOM CONDITIONS The room remains under the same general conditions for this week's reports: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering โ€” Week 13 ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule โ€” 12/12 ๐Ÿ’ก Future of Grow Black Series LEDs โ€” upgraded setup ๐Ÿ”Œ Approx. lighting output โ€” ~59% from the plug โ˜€๏ธ Upper-canopy PPFD โ€” ~1,500 ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature โ€” ~27ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature โ€” ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity โ€” ~61% โš—๏ธ pH โ€” ~6.04 โšก EC โ€” ~2.05 mS/cm ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Solution temperature โ€” ~25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature โ€” ~25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ COโ‚‚ โ€” ~693 ppm ๐ŸŒฑ Pot size โ€” 15 L ๐Ÿ’ฆ Irrigation โ€” ~1.45 L per plant / 24h Same room. Same environment. Same ecosystem. Same lighting. Same feeding. Different phenotype. And this phenotype is moving fast. 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 Big Flowers โ€” Bigger Personality There's something really satisfying about watching this girl now. Earlier in the cycle, we were watching her build. Now we're watching what she built mature. The flowers are substantial. The structure is established. The main cola is huge. The pistils are changing. The leaves are beginning to fade. And the resin is still shining. This is where the whole plant starts coming together. All those weeks of: ๐ŸŒฑ Growth ๐Ÿ’ก Photons ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation ๐ŸŒธ Flower development ๐ŸŒฟ Leaf production โ„๏ธ Resin development ...are now becoming visible in the final structure. And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A has built herself something pretty impressive. 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”ฅ The Wild Girl Is Entering The Final Stretch I think "wild girl" is probably the best way to describe her now. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿฎ She's not slowing down. She's changing quickly. She's showing maturity. She's fading. She's carrying that huge main cola. And she's doing all of it with that same individuality we've been following since the beginning. I don't know exactly how much longer she has. And I'm not going to pretend I do. But I can say this: She's getting close enough that we're starting to think seriously about the final feeding decisions. And that's exciting. Because after all these weeks... we're getting close to seeing the final version of Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A. 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 Studio Treatment And honestly... this girl deserves photographs. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿฎ Because when a plant reaches this stage, you start noticing things that weren't visible earlier. The flower structure. The density. The changing pistils. The fading leaves. The resin. The size of that main cola. And the contrast between the remaining green foliage and the parts that are beginning to change colour. This is exactly why I love documenting the plants week after week. The photographs aren't just decoration. They're the timeline. They're the evidence. They're the memory of the journey. And Chem Brรปlรฉe has given us one hell of a 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”ฌ Same Room โ€” Different Finish Lines We're getting deeper into one of the most fascinating parts of the experiment now. Because the girls are not finishing together. Some are further ahead. Some are behind. Some are moving quickly. Some are taking their time. And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A? She's clearly one of the girls moving quickly toward the final stage. Same room. Same environment. Same lighting. Same nutritional philosophy. And yet... her own timeline. That's genetics. That's phenotype expression. And that's exactly why we documented twelve separate diaries. If we had only one plant, we'd have one story. With twelve? We get twelve. And this girl has a particularly wild one. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ”ฅ 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 We're Not Going To Force The Finish Even though we're getting close, I'm still not interested in forcing anything. No artificial deadline. No: "Week 13 means we must do X." No. We're going to watch. We're going to observe. And if she continues telling us she's entering the final stage... we'll respond. The possible reduction or stopping of feeding is coming very soon. But for now? Everything remains stable. Let her keep doing her thing. She's clearly capable of telling us when she's ready. 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 Now I'm genuinely excited about the next chapter. Because we're getting close. The leaves are fading. The hairs are changing. The flowers are becoming denser and more mature. The main cola is huge. And the plant is moving fast. So the next few updates could become very interesting. How much further will those flowers develop? How much more will the foliage change? How will the resin develop? When will we finally say: "Okay, girl. That's enough. You're ready." I don't know yet. And I don't want to guess. Let's let her tell us. Because she's been pretty loud lately. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ”ฅ 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€” LET THE BEAST SHINE Week 13. And Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A has officially entered beast mode. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿฎ She's wild. She's beautiful. She's moving fast. She's changing. She's fading. She's maturing. And she's carrying one absolutely massive main cola. The hairs are changing. The flowers are becoming denser. The plant is clearly entering the final stage. And honestly? I'm loving every minute of it. She's not the biggest plant in the room. She's not trying to be. She doesn't need to be. Because what she's built is impressive enough. A medium-sized plant with some serious flowers. A huge main cola. Beautiful secondary flowers. Plenty of resin. Changing pistils. And now those beautiful signs of maturity beginning to appear throughout the plant. So... let's make her shine. Let's give this wild girl the spotlight. Let's appreciate everything she's built. Let's appreciate the colours. Let's appreciate the flowers. Let's appreciate that monster main cola. Let's appreciate the frost. And let's enjoy the fact that after thirteen weeks... we're finally getting close enough to see where this story is heading. ๐Ÿฎโ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’š For now... we keep the room stable. We keep watching. We keep documenting. And very soon, we may stop feeding her and allow the final chapter to unfold. But not yet. For now... she's still working. And she's doing one hell of a job. Keep shining, Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A. Keep doing your wild thing. We're watching. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿฎ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š 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 giving us the opportunity to explore these Chem Brรปlรฉe genetics and follow this individual phenotype throughout the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ™ Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the journey and providing the tools behind this flowering cycle. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures we're testing in this room. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ™ Thank you to Lumiflora for adding another dimension of light deeper into the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following this crazy 8ร—8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Every week we discover something new. A different structure. A different rhythm. A different phenotype. A different finish. And now we're entering one of the most exciting parts of the entire experiment: Watching these girls approach the end in completely different ways. Chem Brรปlรฉe Pheno A? She's doing it like a beast. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿฎ Fast. Wild. Frosty. Dense. And carrying one hell of a main cola. She's fading. She's changing her hairs. She's moving toward the final stage. And soon enough... we'll see exactly what all these weeks of photons, nutrition, environment, patience and genetics have created. Until then... we keep watching. We keep learning. We keep documenting. And we let the plant write the final pages. Keep shining, wild girl. You've earned the spotlight. Growers Love & Happy Growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฎโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ

It's been 37 days of flower now and The gals are still loving the fc4800 and their new 8x8 mars hydro grow tent as much as I do๐Ÿ‘ leaves are sticking straight up towards the light. Love how easy the zippers are to open and close. Nice and strong and guaranteed to last. It has extra material on the backside of the zipper that helps for light leaksand enough ports and vents for anything you need in it๐Ÿ‘. the tsw2000 is still going strong and is also a very good light. Its been going almost nonstop for 6 months and still working the same as when I got it๐Ÿ‘. It really got my last grow extremely frosty and is doing the same so far for this grow. I'm very happy with every product I have gotten from mars hydro ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘There's not much heat off both lights but the fc4800 is alot cooler and the heat-sinks work extremely well. I have it daisy chained to the tsw2000 and 1 dimmer controls the other and i don't need to be reaching in too far to dim the other light, it's awesome and I can't wait to buy more lights to daisy 4 together๐Ÿ‘. I would recommend this light to everyone that grows with leds and have trouble with temperatures getting too high. Even if you grow with HPS lights I think any mars hydro light is a MUST TRY. I like how heavy both lights are because I know it means they are built soild and strong ๐Ÿ’ช. Very good sign with the frost they are starting to get thanks to bith mars hydro lights. I can notice more frost under the fc4800 and I'm thinking it's from the UV DIODES they put on the fc4800 ๐Ÿ‘. 2 days ago they all smelt like my nuken, sweet marshmallows. But now I can smell the monkey dough and gorilla glue and skunk monkey coming through๐Ÿ‘. I touched a bud on the gorilla and monkey fingers smelt like fruit loops๐Ÿ‘ really pleasant smell. Lingered on my fingers for atleast 30 min. I'm glad mars hydro is under priced compared to some brands and for how popular they are. usually companies would charge more. Thanks mars you guys are awesome ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿฅ๐ŸŽธ. I'm getting a new exhaust fan soon. An 8 inch that will work alot better than my 4 inch lol. Wayyy to small for a 8x8 Grow Tent. Dehumidifier is going almost non stop to try and get the humidity down. I love how both lights on 100% power only raise my temperature 2 or 3 degrees ๐Ÿ‘. You can rest your hand on the lights and not much heat comes off them. Obviously there is some heat but for the brightness of the lights and only raising the temp that much is awesome ๐Ÿ‘Œ.ย  And if I wanted to I could remove the driver from the fc4800 and run it on the outside of my tent because the cord is so long but 2 or 3 degrees is barely nothing๐Ÿ‘. The girls are starting to bulk up abit now and only 3 weeks of flowering, these lights are awesome ๐Ÿ‘Œ.ย  My last run of monkey dough and gorilla glue didn't start showing alot of crystals until week 4. These were only 2.5 weeks and I started noticing some frost. Next week I will be able to tell more about what these custom bred seeds will be like. I love how the smell is changing now. Didn't want all them to smell like nuken marshmallows lol. It's awesome that I can get right inside the tent to do any work i need๐Ÿ‘. Even if I wanted an 4x8 tent. I'd rather this 8x8 because it's so easy to work with the plants and have so much room to move around and massive headroom when I'm in there chillin with the gals๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿค˜.

6/2 she is in flower and doing well. Not sure how I feel about my lst method. Most of the plant is only a few inches above the soil. She is spread out well and with some tucking and defoliation all the sights are getting good light. 6/3 she is stretching and looking good. She received a top dressing with Gaia green today. Her pot was damp. The next time she needs water, she will get some great white and will see what else I have to dump in the pot. I'm happy with her so far. Top dressing her was a bit of a challenge. She is so low to the soil, that it's hard not to get the amendments on some leaves. Not very important leaves that should probably be removed anyway. She is in flower, so I can probably take some of the lst spikes out. Let her get off the ground some. Have the light turned up to 80 percent. She has been spending a lot of time outside. The sky has been so clear for the past 3 weeks. It's weird there has been no clouds in the sky, until today. She comes inside when the sun starts to go down. 6/4 she seems to be growing well. She is starting to fill the pot and growing up. Buds are coming along, she is starting to be aromatic and smelling nice. 6/5 not much to report today. Cloudy the past few day so she stayed in the house under the se3000 on full blast. She seems very happy, she was fed this week and I expect to see a jump in the next week or 2. 6/7 she is 35 days old today. She has great color and buds look like they're going to be dense. Mesphito clams this is a pungent strain. I did some stem rubbing and the smell seemed very weak. I have a cheese from seed mafia growing in a 1 gallon 1 week younger and is very pungent. Guess that this could all change.

58 Days have passed in flower. Cheese left, Gorilla Girl right. The "Just water no pH" experiment has failed me around week 5 of flower. I have not done anything to keep the soil biology alive so thats probably the issue. Its all good though, it was fun while it lasted and definitely worth a try. I have let the soil dry as much as possible and then i watered in a tablespoon molasses per gallon water. pH'd to 6.6. I just need atleast 3-7 more days of flower and hopefuly the buds will mature a little more. I took a snip of the bottom leafs to check for trichomes maturity, those are the weakest of trichomes on the plants. ---1st time growing with FLO - Florian Living Organics.--- They claim that there is no need to pH when watering and that their living fertilizer is the only thing that i will need throughout the whole grow so i only need to mix with soil and just water with plain water. If this stuff works then it can simplify my future grows ALOT! Happy growing. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Buenas noches familia, pues empezamos con el final. Nuestras power plant xL se han comportado fenรณmeno , recordamos que metimos 9 plantas de 3 variedades distintas y esta es la รบnica variedad que perdimos espacio del indoor. Aun asรญ sin palabras en cuanto al resultado. Planta con floraciรณn muy rรกpida, bastante vigorosa, lo malo es que al final tendrรกs que tutorar si o si, pero es por el peso de la flor. 56/59 dรญas para cortar en floraciรณn, (y es Sativa).Se supone que tira 20%thc y su genรฉtica es South African sativa.

Each of the ladies looks perfectly healthy. Which makes me very happy. However, I'm a little undecided about defoliation... but the question has already been asked. I'll get an answer right away.

Still monsterous. Had to bend down more colas during this week!! Crazy plant. She will be so much better when I can spread her out, the amount of flowers on her are simply amazing. I honestly didn't know what fimming her side branches would do, but it looks like it's paid off in spades. A few more weeks to go yet, her trichomes have not developed yet. Anyway, apologies for poor pics this week, they're all getting too big to get in and out the tent without damage. Last week I snapped the main cola on the CBD ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Esta semana los nutrientes siguen de la misma manera, es notorio el exceso de Nitrogeno por ende se disminuira en los prรณximos riegos, se realizaron podas apicales en los clones que no les hice anteriormente para que alcanzaran mรกs altura. Dentro de esta semana instalare la malla scrog Kanovi para guiar los vigorosos brotes. Ademรกs esta semana ya esta retomando el crecimiento la planta madre variedad Tangie la cual cumpliรณ su ciclo de propagaciรณn por esquejes y porfin florecerรก. Leo comentarios, opiniones y recomendaciones

Another good week. Watered them twice. I'm not planning on feeding them again. A little defoliation. I definitely think they are in the last 2 weeks before harvest. Still seeing some nutrient burn developing on the leaves. I don't think I watered enough through the whole grow! I'd love to hear opinions on this! Took some videos of the buds with an iPhone 12 at 6X magnification. Decent quality! Otherwise, still looking to successfully harvest these plants! Thinking about the next grow. Probably going to be Auto Strawberry Cheesecake and Auto Anesthesia. Peace!

Do you want to grow rock hard buds like a stone? Pick this one! Since the beginning she was the leader, and she still is... Never seen buds that hard, should yield a lot. This is an older strain with skunk, Orange parents, smells interesting and should give a smooth smoke. Perhaps 150 dry, we will see. Edit: wow, the upper buds showed some signs of dark amber, so i did a partial harvest haha. Better to check the trichomes. .. I will leave the rest for 2 weeks and we are good to go!

So please don"t trip out on this. I know my conditions are not accurate or my nutrient amounts. Lost my notebook with all my notes on this grow. All I have are the pics which I'll post. The dates of the pics may not correspond with the weeks in the diary. Kids, make sure you keep up to date if you are going to keep a diary online and keep a written one. I definitely learned my lesson. Several weeks of notes on 5 different strains lost. Well enjoy the pics at least.

So I planted this girl 2 weeks after my first grow but instead I put this in the garden just to see if it would do any good outside.. itโ€™s done so much better then I ever thought it would with very little care, not been fed that often and sometimes just left to rainfall. I even took it out of the flower bed and potted it during early flower and still she kept going just fine :) bonus plant
