🌿 Woche 23 – Mentha de Croco von Terpyz 🇩🇪 Diese Woche stand ganz im Zeichen einer ziemlich radikalen Entscheidung ✂️🌿. Letzten Samstag habe ich beide Pflanzen stark entlaubt und ungefähr die Hälfte der Triebe entfernt. Alle unteren Buds mussten weichen – übrig bleiben nur die Top Buds mit der besten Lichtexposition ☀️🌸. Mein Ziel ist dabei ganz klar: Qualität vor Quantität 💚. Ich möchte die Luftzirkulation verbessern, das Schimmelrisiko im kommenden Herbst reduzieren und gleichzeitig die Geruchsentwicklung aus Rücksicht auf meine Nachbarn möglichst gering halten 🌬️🏡. Bei einem möglichen Erntezeitpunkt Ende Oktober oder Anfang November möchte ich einfach nicht riskieren, am Ende einen Großteil der Buds wegen Schimmel wegwerfen zu müssen 🍂🌧️. Natürlich tut es im Herzen weh, aus solchen majestätischen Pflanzen so viel Biomasse herauszunehmen 😢🌿. Aber am Ende interessiert mich nur das Ergebnis. Lieber weniger, dafür hochwertige und gesunde Buds, als eine riesige Menge, von der später ein großer Teil im Müll landet 🙏🌸. Die linke Pflanze ist mittlerweile ca. 2,18 m, die rechte sogar 2,33 m groß 📏🚀. Durch das starke Auslichten hat sich der Wasserverbrauch erwartungsgemäß ungefähr halbiert 💧. Die linke Pflanze sieht momentan allerdings noch etwas unglücklich aus 😕🌿. Dazu kommt, dass die Sonnenerde langsam deutlich an ihre Grenzen kommt und ich rückblickend wahrscheinlich noch stärker hätte topdressen müssen. Die letzten vier Tage war ich wieder beruflich unterwegs und meine Frau hat das Gießen übernommen 💧❤️. Leider wurde offenbar die gleiche Wassermenge deutlich schneller ausgebracht, wodurch jedes Mal Drain entstanden ist. Ich vermute, dass dadurch teilweise auch Nährstoffe ausgespült wurden und sich das bestehende Defizit dadurch weiter verstärkt hat 🌱💦. Ich versuche jetzt gegenzusteuern. Am Freitag gab es einmal BioBizz Grow, TopMax, Bloom und Heaven nach All-Mix-Schema auf 5 Liter Wasser 🌿. Heute folgt zusätzlich noch Almicanna Flower Komposttee 🍵. Danach heißt es erst einmal beobachten und schauen, ob sich vor allem die linke Pflanze wieder erholt 👀🌱. Die rechte Pflanze steht momentan deutlich besser da und wirkt insgesamt kräftiger 💚. Auch beim Reiben am Stamm ist ihr Geruch mittlerweile deutlich intensiver 👃🌿. Interessanterweise ist dafür die linke Pflanze in der Budentwicklung weiter 🌸. Die beiden Phenos zeigen damit immer deutlicher ihre unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften – und genau das macht den Vergleich so spannend 😍. Jetzt heißt es Daumen drücken und beobachten 🤞🌱. Ich bin sehr gespannt, wie sich die beiden nach diesem massiven Eingriff in den nächsten Wochen entwickeln werden 🍂🌸. 🌿 Week 23 – Mentha de Croco by Terpyz 🇬🇧 This week was all about a rather radical decision ✂️🌿. Last Saturday I heavily defoliated both plants and removed roughly half of the branches. All lower buds were removed as well – I’m keeping only the top buds with the best light exposure ☀️🌸. My goal is very clear: quality over quantity 💚. I want to improve airflow, reduce the risk of mold during the upcoming autumn, and at the same time minimize the amount of smell for the sake of my neighbors 🌬️🏡. With harvest potentially coming in late October or early November, I simply don’t want to risk losing a large part of the crop to mold 🍂🌧️. It honestly hurts a little to remove so much biomass from such majestic plants 😢🌿. But ultimately, I’m only interested in the final result. I’d rather have fewer high-quality, healthy buds than an enormous amount that ends up in the trash because of mold 🙏🌸. The left plant is now approximately 2.18 m, while the right one has reached an incredible 2.33 m 📏🚀. As expected, the heavy defoliation has roughly halved their water consumption 💧. The left plant doesn’t look particularly happy at the moment, though 😕🌿. On top of that, the Sonnenerde is clearly starting to run out of nutrients, and looking back, I probably should have used a heavier top dress. I was away on a work trip for the last four days and my wife took care of the watering 💧❤️. Unfortunately, it seems the same amount of water was applied much faster, resulting in drainage every time. I suspect this may have washed out some nutrients and contributed to the further development of the nutrient deficiency 🌱💦. I’m now trying to correct the situation. On Friday I gave them BioBizz Grow, TopMax, Bloom and Heaven according to the All-Mix schedule in 5 liters of water 🌿. Today they’ll receive another dose of Almicanna Flower Compost Tea 🍵. After that, it’s time to observe and see whether the left plant starts recovering 👀🌱. The right plant is looking significantly better at the moment and appears much stronger overall 💚. The smell is also noticeably more intense when rubbing the stem of this plant 👃🌿. Interestingly, however, the left plant is further ahead in bud development 🌸. The two phenotypes are clearly showing increasingly different characteristics – and that’s what makes this comparison so interesting 😍. Now it’s time to keep my fingers crossed and watch closely 🤞🌱. I’m very curious to see how these two plants respond to such a major intervention over the next few weeks 🍂🌸.

hey grow friends .... finally my time seems to come .... these beautiful little girls seem to tell me, every day that passes "smoke us" "smoke us" .... bitch bitch guys .. it doesn't seem true .. the dream of a lifetime ... MY FIRST SEED MY FIRST GERMINATION MY FIRST GROW MY FIRST LAMP MY FIRST VEGETATION MY FIRST FLOWERING WHAT A CHILD SATISFACTION 9 out of 9 .... AND EVEN IF I DON'T HAVE ABUNDANT COLLECTIONS FROM A SINGLE PLANT FOR ME ALREADY AND A SUCCESS TO COMPLETE 9 OF 9 I cultivated it very sparingly and in the end I was repaid quite well ... this and the second week of flush .... fuck how long they take to dry with the led :(

Tento týden jsem provedl pořádnou defoliaci a odstranění nízkých větví, které se nedostanou na světlo. Zakoupení odvlhčovače nepomohlo snížit vlhkost.. budu muset pravděpodobně v budoucnosti zalévat menším množství vody. D82/19 Čtvrtek Každá z holek dostala 1,5l vody bez živin. Poté jsem rozpustil 2x RQS bloom booster tablets ve 13 litrech vody do které jsem přidal i ostatní živiny vypsané výše. Tento roztok jsem rozdělil mezi mé dívky. Každá tím pádem dostala 3 litry vody a částečně jsem tím propláchl substrát jako prevenci usazování solí.

Cash Express 03.01.2025 Tag 21 / 27.01.2025 Feedback: Die zwei Cash Express haben ich Topping und LST durchgeführt. Ich bin nun in der 3. Woche, die Seitentrieben haben sich gut entwickelt. Für Ratschläge von der Community nehme ich gerne an. Feedback am 29. Januar 2025 Die Entlaubung von meine zwei Cash Express habe ich diese Woche durchgeführt, es gab keine große oder kleine Probleme. Das LSD hat sehr gut funktioniert, jetzt können die Pflanze in die Breite und in die Höhe wachsen.

Ciao a tutti! Settimana speciale queste, i fiori finalmente hanno preso forma! Sono bellissime, noto con piacere che si sono sviluppati molto e decisamente più in fretta di tutte le altre volte che ho coltivato a terra, in particolar modo i pistilli. Ho messo una seconda rete per lo scrog ma non ho calcolato bene l'allungamento della seconda settimana di ore fioritura e sono arrivato troppo a ridosso del LED, avrei dovuto girarle in fioritura una settimana abbondante prima da poter gestire meglio le altezze, ma a parte questo va tutto benissimo, iniziano anche a vedersi a occhio nudo o tricomi, anche sulle foglie più prossime al fiore, saranno ottime per il trim. Bene non ci resta che attendere, mi mancherà un mesetto scarso, le radici sono bianco latte, l'ec nella norma, il ph pure, tra una decina di giorni o poco più penserò a svuotare i 3 vasi e rifare per l'ultima volta la soluzione 💪🏼🍀😎😝🍀🍀

Ok so she had her final flush today , I’m going to let her dry out then crop, all photos from iPhone , two of them smell the fruitiest of fruity , one of them is a lot more resin smelling , this was fun , I reckon there might be a few ounces here , certainly not on the scale of DWC but 500 times easier , some quality smoke here and for the budget probably the best value , I spent about £5 on the compost , , electric was 15 p a day , so about £13 , tent was £30 ,led was £100 , fan and filter £50 , fan in tent £12 , water from tap 50p , I think she needs a little bit of cal mag in the grow , and some dragon force at the end , I think there is as least 3 ounces , so a pretty good ROI for a budget . And You can clearly see that repotting affects final size , the biggest one was repotted first . Next go I’m going to plant straight into final pot Ps yes she is falling over , ....

Que hay familia, volvemos por aquí y actualizamos la sexta semana de floración de las Original de GrowBarato. Jodo, que aroma más rico que desprenden, cómo están progresando y cómo se están poniendo repletas de polen, ya con los dientes largos. Estoy bastante contento aún siendo los ejemplares de granel, orgulloso del resultado hasta ahora. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Las maximas de temperatura no superan los 26 grados y las mínimas no bajan 20, así que no me puedo quejar. Los niveles de humedad también son los correctos van entre 45%/55% de humedad relativa. Por supuesto el Ph lo estamos dejando alrededor de 6. Hasta aquí es todo, buenos humos 💨💨💨.

Well, it's finally time for an update, right? And for a newbie like me this week has been quite eventful! 😲 After last week's "Helmet Head" (which I suppose was my fault for not burying the seed deep enough 😱) her leaves started to look twisty, Honestly don't know why that happened but my three hypothesis are: because that's just the way she is, because I didn't properly bury the seed or I made a mistake somewhere else. However I also think she looks pretty and this makes her look quite "special" 👍. In her 6-7th day after sprouting I noticed her leaves started to look even more twisty and she was about to outgrow her cup. I worried and decided that it was the right moment to transplant her. At first I didn't know "how" to do it and all I knew is that I could shock her if I did it wrong (which worried me haha 😨). None of the sites I checked really specified any kind of information regarding how I should prepare the medium for the new plant (just some vague information here and there) so I came with the idea to just water it bit and then "massage" the soil to avoid making it "lumpy" and I feel it did work out well in the end! I feel I didn't shock her much and in her second day she was growing even more as well! Nice! 😍 Next week I'll start feeding Puff with some nutrients but the PPM of the tap water where I live is somewhat high (around 600) and it's electroconductivity is around 1200 us/cm but a lot of growers in here still use it (they just wait for chlorine to evaporate) so I'll try doing the same. I'll use half dose of Biobizz Bio Grow and half dose of another product called Gold Sunshine from Quemanta (which is Cal-Mag with some amino acids) and see how things develop! 😃 I'll try to see if I can make my DSLR take the photos for future timelapses, because my webcam sucks for that job! Thanks everyone for reading 😉

i was thinking about harvesting half and letting the bottom half finish but after chopping some of it i just ended up taking it all down. i knew i wouldnt get a crazy amount of weight from the early mess ups but im guessing it will be about 2 oz when dried. im happy with anything thats smokeable for a first time grower tho and i cant wait to get started on 2 more ladies :D im thinking maybe do the purple punch but this time use a 5 gallon pot so i can see her at her best ! the roots were sure cramped in this 2gallon lol. thanks for reading and following my journey :D

23.-30.07. Die Woche verging wie im Fluge. Strawberry Haze Auto duftet mittlerweile sehr fruchtig mit Zitrusnoten. Die Blüten schwellen nach einem krassen Stretch an. Das intensive LST und das Entfernen störender Blätter hat dazu geführt, dass die Blüten sehr gleichmäßig Sonnenlicht bekommen und später in der Blüte die Luft gut zirkulieren kann. Zwei Tage der Woche standen die Pflanzen unter der Markise, es hat über Stunden heftig geregnet. Das Gießen läuft wie gewohnt nach Gefühl. An heißen Sonnentagen bis zu 1,5 Liter.

🍮 8×8 Adventure – Week 13 🌸 Chem Brûlée – Pheno A 🔥 The Wild Girl Is Rushing Toward The Finish Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And here she is again... Our Chem Brûlée Pheno A. But honestly... I think we're going to have to stop calling her just "Chem Brûlée." Because this girl has become a little beast. 😂🔥🍮 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." 😂💚 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. 🍮❄️🔥🌸 ──────────────────────── 🔥 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. 😂🍮🔥 Fair enough, girl. We're watching. ──────────────────────── 🌸 That Main Cola... WOW Okay. We have to talk about this. Because the main cola on this girl is HUGE. 😂🔥🌸 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 Brûlée flower sitting there saying: "Yeah... I built this." 😂🍮💚 And honestly? She has every right to be proud of it. ──────────────────────── 🌿 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." 😂💚 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. ──────────────────────── ? 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. ?🌸 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: 🌸 Bigger flowers ❄️ Increasing resin 🌿 Fading foliage 🔥 Mature-looking structures 🍮 Overall progression ...the message becomes pretty clear. She's moving toward the finish. And she's doing it quickly. ──────────────────────── ❄️ The Frost Is Still There Of course... we can't talk about Chem Brûlée without talking about the frost. 😂❄️ 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. ──────────────────────── 🍮 Same Girl — Completely Herself One thing I really appreciate about Chem Brûlée 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 Brûlée Pheno A has answered that question very clearly. 😂🍮🔥 She does whatever the hell she wants. ──────────────────────── 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure — Same Room, Different Stories For anyone discovering this diary for the first time... welcome to the 8×8 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 Brûlée 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. ──────────────────────── 💡 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. 🔌 Approximately 59% from the plug with around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy The intensity naturally changes throughout the canopy depending on plant height and position. And Chem Brûlée Pheno A? She's making damn good use of those photons. 😂💡🔥 She's taking that light and turning it into flowers. A lot of flowers. And one hell of a main cola. ──────────────────────── ☀️ Same Photons — Different Interpretation This is still one of my favourite parts of the entire 8×8 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 Brûlée Pheno A? She's basically saying: "Thank you for the photons. I'll turn them into a monster cola." 😂🍮🔥 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. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Same Feeding — But We May Be Near The End The nutritional program remains consistent with the rest of the room for now. Current recipe: 🌱 Plagron Pure Zym — 1 ml/L ⚗️ Plagron pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L 🍋 Plagron Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L 🌸 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2 ml/L 🌿 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Current solution strength: ⚡ 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." 😂🍮🌸 So we're listening. ──────────────────────── 🧠 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." 😂 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. 😂🔥🍮 "I'm getting close." Message received. ──────────────────────── 💧 Stable Room — 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 Brûlée 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. 😂🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 13 — CURRENT ROOM CONDITIONS The room remains under the same general conditions for this week's reports: 🌸 Flowering — Week 13 💡 Light schedule — 12/12 💡 Future of Grow Black Series LEDs — upgraded setup 🔌 Approx. lighting output — ~59% from the plug ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD — ~1,500 🌡️ Day temperature — ~27°C 🌙 Night temperature — ~26°C 💧 Relative humidity — ~61% ⚗️ pH — ~6.04 ⚡ EC — ~2.05 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature — ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature — ~25°C 🌬️ CO₂ — ~693 ppm 🌱 Pot size — 15 L 💦 Irrigation — ~1.45 L per plant / 24h Same room. Same environment. Same ecosystem. Same lighting. Same feeding. Different phenotype. And this phenotype is moving fast. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Big Flowers — 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: 🌱 Growth 💡 Photons 💧 Irrigation 🌸 Flower development 🌿 Leaf production ❄️ Resin development ...are now becoming visible in the final structure. And Chem Brûlée Pheno A has built herself something pretty impressive. ──────────────────────── 🔥 The Wild Girl Is Entering The Final Stretch I think "wild girl" is probably the best way to describe her now. 😂🔥🍮 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 Brûlée Pheno A. ──────────────────────── 📸 The Studio Treatment And honestly... this girl deserves photographs. 😂📸🍮 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 Brûlée has given us one hell of a timeline. ──────────────────────── 🔬 Same Room — 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 Brûlée 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. 😂🍮🔥 ──────────────────────── 🌿 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. ──────────────────────── 🔭 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. 😂🍮🔥 ──────────────────────── ❤️ FINAL THOUGHTS — LET THE BEAST SHINE Week 13. And Chem Brûlée Pheno A has officially entered beast mode. 😂🔥🍮 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. 🍮❄️🌸🔥💚 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 Brûlée Pheno A. Keep doing your wild thing. We're watching. 🔥🍮🌸💚 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU A huge thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the opportunity to explore these Chem Brûlée genetics and follow this individual phenotype throughout the 8×8 Adventure. 🌸🙏 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. 💡🙏 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 8×8 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 Brûlée Pheno A? She's doing it like a beast. 😂🔥🍮 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! 🌱💚🍮❄️🔥
