This weeks update! Grow tent- so I had a buddy do my res change I talked him through the whole process couldn’t make it to the grow this week. Number and everything where perfect but!. He didn’t close the valve all the way to the blue dream res tank and left the drain pump on🤦‍♂️🏾. So when I got there this week leaves where curling and brown thought it might be a nutrient issue. Opened the res to check it. And there was only about a gallon of water in there out of the usual seven. No major harm I was planning on doing my last defoliation to her this week anyway. But that could have been bad. They are both receiving half strength nutes of the ripening mix GH recommends. Would have been a perfect week if not for that. No harm no foul tho. But def bout to start pushing them on the flower nutes and get back up to my 1000 ppm range buy adding extra bloom formula! #Staykited

These are about a month old. I've no idea what they are as there from a long time ago and were mixed with a few varieties of autos and photoperiod. Hopefully they work out and are not Spanish sativa as that just gives me a headache after more than 0.25g in a day?? Anyone else ever have that? Powerplant does the same if I use more than 0.50g in a day. The only two strains that have that effect on me!

Day 51, 4th of November 2020: The 3rd day since the lamp switched to be 12/12. I raised up the nutrition intake as it can be seen above only the BioBizz family 2ml/l and removed some LST because the plants remain in shape or just set a bit but nothing significant.... They look good and strech is on the way..... Nothing really to report there is crazy 2-3 weeks from now ;)

This bean is during me CRAZY 🤣🤣🤣 I had some slow growth with my RuntZ, but they are on the go. This strain —- I gotta get the conditions right for it. It seems to prefer less water and more heat?? I am not flowering this strain until I can take 5-6 Clone’s off of it. It’s been feed SST, LABS, bacteria, fungi, rain dances. Just isn’t responding like I assumed, but I am taking responsibility for the issues, NOT the cultivar. 11-3 And……we are back in the game!!! The inputs began showing the effectiveness. Leaves are larger, no stretching. The bean just took a second to “kick” in gear with some added help. This is going to be a very long VEG…we are talking 4-5 months before I flower this. I want multiple clones off this strain so my summer grow outdoor is going to be SICK ( 6 ft tall ladies).

🚂 Cash Express – Pheno A Week 5 | Full Steam Ahead One of the most rewarding parts of documenting an entire phenotype hunt is watching every individual plant write its own story. Even though this lady shares the same room as several of her sisters, she’s following her own timeline with complete confidence. Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, this project follows multiple phenotypes under identical environmental conditions using the 12/12 From Seed method. Instead of forcing flowering by changing the light schedule, every plant receives 12 hours of light from the day she germinates, allowing each phenotype to decide for itself when it’s ready to reproduce. Cash Express Pheno A has made her decision. There are no doubts anymore… Flowering has officially begun. ⸻ 🌼 The First Flowers This week the plant truly announced the beginning of her reproductive stage. Fresh white pistils are now appearing across every growing tip, marking the first real flower sites. Those tiny white hairs are far more than just pretty decorations. Each pistil is part of the female flower and serves as the structure that would naturally receive pollen in nature. In an indoor sinsemilla grow, however, they become the foundation for the beautiful resin-covered buds we’re all hoping to harvest later. It’s always one of my favourite moments in a grow. The transition from “plant” to “flowering plant” has officially started. Although she’s still compact, every day now brings noticeable changes as the flowering sites become more defined. ⸻ 💧 AutoPot Life Like her Blueberry Muffin sister growing beside her, this phenotype has now fully transitioned onto the AutoPot irrigation system. Instead of watering from the top every day, the plants now feed themselves whenever they need moisture. At the heart of the system is the AquaValve. This clever little mechanical valve keeps a shallow reservoir inside each tray, automatically opening and closing as the plant drinks. Once the tray is empty, fresh nutrient solution flows in again, creating a continuous wet-and-dry cycle without electricity or timers at each pot. It allows the roots to decide when to feed rather than relying on my watering schedule. So far… She’s absolutely loving it. ⸻ 🍽️ Feeding & A Small Observation This week’s reservoir was prepared using: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L The reservoir remains intentionally simple for AutoPot use, allowing the solution to stay stable while circulating continuously. During this week’s inspections I also noticed something worth documenting. Several older fan leaves are beginning to show a gentle loss of colour. Nothing dramatic. No burnt tips. No rapid deterioration. Just a subtle lightening that suggests she’s beginning to ask for slightly more nutrition as flowering accelerates. Rather than immediately assuming a deficiency, I prefer making small adjustments and watching how the plant responds. For that reason I increased the EC slightly this week. Now the plant gets the opportunity to tell me whether that adjustment is enough. Growing is often less about reacting quickly… …and more about listening carefully. ⸻ 🌿 Environment The flowering room continues operating under stable conditions. • Day temperature averaged 31.1°C • Night temperature remained around 25°C • Solution temperature stayed near 21.6°C • Root zone remained approximately 21°C • Relative humidity averaged 72% • Atmospheric CO₂ measured roughly 639 ppm The humidity may appear a little high, but at this early flowering stage I’m still comfortable maintaining these levels while the plants continue stretching and building new flower sites. As flowering progresses and the buds begin gaining density, humidity will gradually come down to create an even safer environment for resin production and flower development. Everything follows the plan. ⸻ 📸 Behind This Week’s Photos This week’s gallery tells a very exciting story. The close-up photographs capture the explosion of fresh white pistils appearing from nearly every node, confirming that flowering is now fully underway. The side profiles show a compact but extremely healthy structure, while the overhead shots reveal an even canopy that should make excellent use of the flowering light over the coming weeks. Some of the photographs also document the slight paling of a few fan leaves. Rather than hiding these moments, I like including them because they remind us that plants constantly communicate. Sometimes they’re simply asking for a little more. Learning to recognise those conversations is part of becoming a better grower. (And yes… eagle-eyed viewers may notice the photo label accidentally says crash instead of cash. That’s entirely my mistake and will be corrected in the next update. Even diaries have typos sometimes! 😄) ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead Next week should be one of the most exciting stages yet. I expect the flowering sites to begin stacking more aggressively as the stretch continues. We’ll also be watching closely to see how the increased EC influences the slight leaf discoloration. If the colour stabilises, we’ll know the adjustment was enough. If not, the plant will simply tell us she needs a little more. Either way… She’ll write the next chapter, and I’ll keep listening. ⸻ 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this journey. Whether you’ve been here since Germination Week or you’ve only just discovered this diary, your support, questions, discussions and shared experiences are what make documenting these grows so rewarding. Special thanks to: 💚 GrowDiaries for giving growers around the world a place to learn from one another. Zamnesia for providing the Cash Express genetics that continue to reveal their unique personality week after week. 🌱 Plagron for the nutrition program supporting every stage of this adventure. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering consistent lighting throughout the entire room. ? AutoPot for letting these plants feed themselves naturally through one of the simplest yet smartest irrigation systems I’ve ever used. And finally… Thank you to every grower, follower, supporter, critic, and curious visitor who stops by these diaries. Every interaction makes this journey richer, and I’m grateful to share it with all of you. Growers Love and see you next week, where we’ll find out if the extra nutrition satisfies her growing appetite—and watch those first flowers begin transforming into what we all know is coming. 🌱🚂💚

Woche 5 – Struktur beginnt Die Laughing Buddha wurde diese Woche getoppt und geht jetzt in die nächste Phase. Das Topping fällt bei mir immer sehr mini aus um der Pflanze nicht mehr zu verletzen als es sein muss, Stress gibt’s bald genug.😅 Außerdem gab’s ein leichtes Topdressing mit Bio Grow (1 g/L), um sie für das kommende Wachstum zu pushen. Die kleine Lampe wurde durch die Spider Farmer SF1000D ersetzt – jetzt gibt’s deutlich mehr Power von oben. Jetzt heißt es: erholen, verzweigen und Struktur aufbauen Die Kleine hat das Topping gut vertragen und hat fleißig Masse zugelegt. Ein paar Blätter zur Seite geführt damit die seitentriebe mehr Licht abbekommen ohne das ich entlauben muss.

July 7th makes week 11 for these ladies. They were supposed to have been harvested this week but we're a ways away from that. We have a bit of maturation and swelling to do yet. Maybe I stalled them, could be genetics, could be a combination of both? We'll see. I'm just happy they look as good as they do and to have had the helpful growmies I've had here giving me tips and help along the way. Thank you!

Did defoliation as usual and a little lollipoping. Did 2 complete refills of the reservoir, ph stayed stable for 1 day after the exchange but then super unstable again. Dropped the EC with the second refill to 1000 to see if it stays stable. Ori is going good, already looking frosty, NL#2 is comming aswell, NL#1 not so much.

4th week of vegetation. The girl has grown healthy and entered in the blooming phase, and the first pistils are starting to appear. I've increased the dose of bio grow to 0.7 ml per 3 L and I'll continue for 2 more weeks. See you next week happy growing

Tag 108 | Blütetag 64 Rocko's Terp Test featuring: Apokalypse Grow ☀️🔥 Das Wetter bleibt momentan der Chef. Um den sommerlichen Temperaturen entgegenzuwirken, wurde der komplette Lichtzyklus in dieser Woche auf die Nachtstunden von 20:00 bis 08:00 Uhr verlegt. Zusätzlich laufen die beiden XS1500 Pro nur noch mit 40 % Leistung. Ich habe sogar kurz überlegt, den Zyklus auf 21:00 bis 09:00 Uhr zu verschieben, um die größte Nachmittagshitze noch weiter zu umgehen. Vorerst bleibt es aber bei 20:00 bis 08:00 Uhr. In dieser Phase geht es nicht mehr darum, den letzten Ertrag herauszupressen, sondern die Pflanzen möglichst schonend ins Ziel zu bringen. Das Ziel bleibt klar: Fruchtbombe statt Hitzebombe. Das gesamte System läuft aktuell eher in einer warmen Suppe zwischen 26 und 31 °C, statt wie noch vor einigen Wochen zwischen kühl und heiß zu pendeln. Die Klimadaten lesen sich zunächst kritischer, als die Pflanzen tatsächlich aussehen. Trotz der schwülen Wetterlage zeigen die aktuellen Bilder ein erstaunlich stabiles Bild. Die Pflanzen zehren inzwischen sichtbar aus ihren Blattreserven, ohne dass die Blüten selbst deutliche Anzeichen von Hitzestress zeigen. Angesichts der sommerlichen Temperaturen unter dem Dach sind rund 30 bis 31 °C während der Lichtphase derzeit ein durchaus akzeptabler Kompromiss. Chicken & Waffles liefert in dieser Woche den wohl spektakulärsten Anblick. Die Zuckerblätter präsentieren sich inzwischen in tiefen Violetttönen bis hin zu nahezu Schwarz und zeigen stellenweise bordeauxfarbene Nuancen, die sich auf Fotos nur schwer einfangen lassen. Zusammen mit der massiven Harzschicht wirkt die Pflanze beinahe eingefroren. Die Spitze erinnert an mehrere kleine Zwiebelkirchtürme. Mit ihren organischen, leicht verdrehten Formen wirkt sie fast wie ein Bauwerk, das einem Hundertwasser-Entwurf entsprungen sein könnte. So eine Optik hatte ich bisher noch in keinem Grow. Fruit Bomb Punch zeigt in dieser Woche eindrucksvoll, welchen Einfluss das Training auf ihren Wuchs hatte. Durch das wiederholte Herunterclipsen während des Stretchs konnte sich keine klassische Hauptcola entwickeln. Stattdessen bildet die Topblüte aus der Draufsicht einen regelrechten Fünfender mit nahezu gleich hohen Spitzen. Von der Seite wirkt derselbe Bereich dagegen wie ein schlanker Turm aus übereinander gestapelten Blütensegmenten. Die übrigen, weniger beeinflussten Seitentriebe zeigen dagegen die sortentypische Blütenstruktur und machen den Einfluss des Trainings besonders deutlich. Strawberry AK bleibt ihrer Linie treu. Die klassische Kerzenform mit ihrer markanten Hauptcola ist bis heute erhalten geblieben. Gleichzeitig zeigt sie den deutlichsten Herbst-Fade und verwertet konsequent die letzten Reserven aus ihren Fächerblättern. Auch bei den Trichomen zeigen sich inzwischen Unterschiede. Chicken & Waffles liegt aktuell leicht vorn, Strawberry AK folgt überraschend dicht dahinter. Fruit Bomb Punch beginnt dagegen gerade erst sichtbar einzutrüben. Ob sie in der kommenden Woche aufschließen kann, werden die nächsten Makroaufnahmen zeigen. Am Ende entscheidet das Glas. 🍯🌱

Consider 14 weeks the flowering process itself at when i report i cut it also forced me to do the taste to something too fresh - ? So Consider this a final thoughts post as i wanted to show i slashed them,all at once as i was noticed that were on their limits on time range for a balace between not over ripe the g13 and not let mature enough santa bilbo chamos , it can be very easy to reveal what where each one as they were fuck very stable between them, that uniformity com from very stable bank indeed so fuck i eager to report & fly on some old school shit itself , and shit, this is fuck a sativa and indica differences so clear and by their own simple yet remarcable smell punch from dope lemon demon & sweet og hash ou that are refining from what stated last week & outperforming my own personal previous growof them personal SUCESS & SOPA DE MACACO & BIG GAS LEAKS N BIG DICK ENERGY 👌 . STILL A LOT TO IMPROVE HOMIES & I WILL DERIVE TO OTHER GROW TRY / FAIL / REPEAT & REPORT AF AS I CAN BE FOND OF THIS TIPE OF JOURNAL as on my time, were useful when searching from some previous insight on some grow experiment , or smoke reference as well, every shit can help even and sweet bless of autotranslate as well !

this is probably week three of flower. grow diaries doesnt give me the option to select week one of flower it skips automatically to week 5. glitches still persiat with this site that im not happy about. also upload times for a 30 second clip takes really long and i have good internet. i have to cut it into two 30 second clips to make it worth uploading
