WEEK 13 Both plants have now entered the flowering phase. A large number of pistils have already developed. So far, I’ve managed to maintain an even height, but the plants are currently in the stretch phase and could still shoot up significantly. I’m hoping for compact and balanced growth, as the vertical space in my setup is limited. I’ve increased my light intensity to around 700 PPFD. As a result—and due to the dehumidifier—the temperature in the grow room has risen slightly, but it remains within an acceptable range. The plants are currently watered every two days, with fertilizer added once a week. To improve air exchange, I pump fresh intake air into the tent every 30 minutes for 30 minutes. The coming weeks are bound to be exciting—I’m really looking forward to seeing how things turn out

I’ll update ya’ll on the smells and tastes after drying and curing! So far both are packed with ice and smell very potent, a little overpowering still, so I want to give it some time before they’re cures and can show their true terpene profile!

This has been such a long journey, finally starting to see some real stack up. I started my first photoperiod grow with 3 strains. This OG Kush and Sour Diesel from RQS, and a land race Afghani strain from Zamnesia. The OG Kush came inside a month ago to make room on my tiny deck for the Christmas tree Afghani out on the porch. The Afghani is over 7 feet tall and frosty stacking hard, picture labeled. The Sour Diesel grew far too big for a tiny suburban deck, she got chopped and relocated. I hope i made the right decisions, regardless man is this growing FUN!

Hey everyone ☺️. This week it has developed really well and has finally taken on color again :-) 👍. The additional nutrients as described last week have taken off. 1 liter per pot is poured twice this week 🤗. In about 2 weeks it goes over to the flowering tent 👍. Otherwise there is not much to report this week.

I yielded just over half pound dry 10oz and abit to be exact not to bad off 2 plants that I could of let go a little longer. The absolutely reak of Gas terpenes very different for me but very enjoyable

Today is day 36. I had to tie up some branch’s this morning. The colas have been slowly leaning in every direction, and I wanted to get them back standing straight in the light.i will flush her for a few days seems last batch of nutes burned her a little. I also believe there is to much nitrogen in her roots as some leaves have started to yellow up top. This is just my opinion from what I have been reading. I know Leaves will yellow during flowering, but from my understanding it is usually is the lower leaves. Any feed back would be appreciated.

📆 Semana 5 Con la estructura ya marcada, el cultivo entra claramente en fase productiva. La canopia se mantiene uniforme y las puntas empiezan a ganar presencia a medida que las flores se desarrollan. Los cogollos avanzan en el apilamiento y empiezan a compactar, formando erizos cada vez más definidos. La resina comienza a hacerse visible en cálices y hojas cercanas. El consumo progresivo de hojas grandes continúa de forma natural, señal de que la planta dirige su energía hacia el engorde y la formación de flores. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

D64. We're at the start of the fourth week of flower, and today was a busy day. First, I had to remove the old lights before swapping in the light from my auto tent. All while trying to avoid trashing the plants in the way too full tent. Not an easy task. The entire mission, with changing the light in the auto tent as well, took a couple of hours. I wish I could keep the Greenception lights in the tent as they're high-quality lights, but the Kingbrite has a much lower profile and thus takes up much less space. Space that I desperately need considering how insanely much these girls stretched. One of the tops on the second girl has unfortunately already been bunt by being too close to the light, and I'm sure I will run into light bleaching and probably foxtailing as the grow progress, but I hope I will be able to pull it off with the Kingbrite light. I also added some wire support to the branches that I super-cropped, as they looked somewhat sad after all the abuse to the canopy while swapping the lights. ------------------------------ D66. It looks like the girls have FINALLY stopped stretching. Phew! Yesterday, I gave each girl 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.2 with humic acid and EM-1. Today, the green lacewing larvae (Chrysoperla Carnea) arrived, and I dispersed them in the tent to deal with the thrips. ------------------------------ D68. All is well in the tent, but now when the thrips are (hopefully) under control, it's time to address the VPD. It has gotten seriously out of wack due to dropping temps, plus I increased the humidity to make the environment more inhospitable for the thrips. The temps were low due to the light change as the new one is running a lot cooler, but the temps have also dropped outside. The heating in the lungroom has been off until now, so I turned that on and lowered the humidity threshold on my exhaust fan. Finally, I put my small humidifier in the tent, generating extra heat and decreasing the humidity. So far, the VPD has increased from a terrible 0.4-0.5 to an acceptable 0.9, and I'm hoping it will increase further as the ambient RH drops as we move into winter. ------------------------------ D70. We're at the end of the fourth week of flower, and all is well in the tent. The VPD has gone up to 1.0, which is a nice improvement to what it was only a couple of days ago. I haven't scouted yet for thrips, but I will give the lacewings a couple of days to do their thing and then look closer. However, I went to WAR against the spider mites we have in our ornamental plants in the apartment. I sprayed all plants with my homemade pesticide (capsaicin, alcohol, horticultural soap.) since I had it at hand. If that fails to knock the spider mites back, I'll bring out the neem oil instead. The infestations aren't bad (yet), but it would suck to get mites into my tents, so better to be proactive. ------------------------------

Super Orange Haze: This beauty really seems to be doing quite well. The buds are starting to fatten up, and there's frost everywhere. Some orange pistils, but it's few and far inbetween at this point. I was increasingly aggressive with pruning this week chopping off flower producing stalks that looked like they weren't fattening up like the others in an attempt to get this thing down to 6-10 main colas. She seems to be handling it like a champ, and I think at this point I'm done with pruning until it comes time for harvest with the exception of the occasional fan leaf blocking a bud site. As a total newbie, I'm thinking we're about 3-4 weeks from harvest, and I can hardly wait! She smells like candy, and when I prune her scent gets all over my hands and I smell it for hours later. I hope she tastes 1/10th of how amazing she smells! Creme de la Chem: Well, let this be a lesson to everyone about the importance of early pruning and training. She's a plain old mess, and she's gotten into the lights. I've been bending stalks over which results in super cropping, and I've been tangling them all together sometimes on purpose, sometimes on accident. I'm just trying everything I can think of to keep her from roasting, but nothing is working. She's just doomed to be a complete and unmanageable mess. She's producing flowers, and appears to be about 2 weeks behind the Super Orange Haze. I'm hoping to just get 4 or 5 good colas that don't end up bleached and withered by the lights at this point. My next grow will be way more controlled! RDWC stuff: I swapped her water out last week, so still running with what I've got at the moment. I'm out of RO, so I've been adding hard tap water when they need a top off and then nutrients in the ratios listed until PPM is at around 1000-1100. I've been rotating in ice packs and trying a few other things like added insulation to the top of my grow sites in an effort to keep water temps under 70 at all times. I've experienced limited success in this as you can see by the temperature chart for underwater. The big dip you see early in the week is the reservoir change I did (last week's update was late, not on Sunday like normal).

Critical kief

Entramos en la 9 semana y seguimos con heladas en el exterior , las mínimas con luces apagadas son de 15º y las máximas con luces encendidas

Great grow!! Should end up with over a half a pound off of these 2 and the little I harvested about 2 weeks ago. I got 2 oounces dry off of her. They smell amazing and are covered with trichomes

These bad boys are cranking and getting close. Monitoring trichs and signs to harvest. All 5 seem to be close but will definitely finish up at different times. Took them out for some fresh air. Last pic shows you the variation. I’m estimating maybe 550-650 grams of dry. Did some light defoliation and added support spaced colas evenly.

Dosido was a fun plant to grow. Short stock indica dominant plant. It finished in late September and was susceptible to mold and bud rot. Lost a number of colas to rot, approximately 100gs dry. Very potent strain with unique terp profile. I did get a few seeds in it. I didn't spot any naner but I have germinated a few of the seeds, all female so I am assuming it self pollinated. I would recommend growing this strain but be extra cautious outdoors.

A single day week due to harvest. Values are average of the day. DATE - EC(us/cm) 20250611 1628 DATE - PH 20250611 6.13 DATE - ORP (mV) 20250611 188 DATE - °C - RH% (Tent Temp/RH) 20250611 24.2 52 DATE - °C (Reservoir) 20250611 21.1 DATE - CF 20250611 16.28

We pick this grow up in week 2 from germination, right now the four plants are in 1.5 grow cups while the roots fill out and are ready to be transplanted. This tent is the tent I just finished growing chicken N Wafflez in and I was happy with the results so the only thing I'm changing for this tent is I will only be feeding foop nutrients to this grow as I am intrigued by their line and want to give it a shot and once flower is transitioned I will be adding a 65w under canopy light by RDJ Bouns to help stack some more A bud in the lower canopy. Still using the AC Infinity wicking pots and all the same top lights as last grow in this tent. Let's get growing!

🍮 Chem Brûlée – Pheno A Week 10 | Her Own Kind of Shine ❄️🌸✨ Welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 And this girl... She's still shining. Not because she's trying to be like anybody else. Not because she's following some predetermined script. But because Chem Brûlée Pheno A has developed a personality all of her own. She's unique. She's distinctive. And the further we move into flower, the more that individuality becomes obvious. Every week, I look at her and think: "Okay... let's see where you're going next." And honestly? I have no idea exactly where she's going. But I'm really enjoying the journey. So this week, we're keeping things simple. We're watching. We're supporting. We're keeping the environment as stable as possible. We're letting the LEDs keep throwing photons into the jungle. And most importantly... We're giving this beautiful girl the spotlight. 🍮❄️🌸 🌱 Week 10 – Still Writing Her Own Story Chem Brûlée Pheno A is sitting at approximately 126 cm, and by now her overall character is pretty unmistakable. She's not the plant that makes you stop because she's enormous. She's not trying to win some imaginary height competition. She's simply developed into her own version of Chem Brûlée. And that's exactly what makes phenotype hunting so interesting. You start with a genetic name. Then you grow the plant. And eventually, the plant starts telling you what that name means in her particular case. This girl has definitely introduced herself. She's got her own structure. Her own flower formation. Her own expression. Her own rhythm. And I like it. Very much. 🌸 The Flowers Keep Getting More Beautiful The biggest change this week is, once again, happening where it matters most: the flowers. They're becoming more established. More defined. More substantial. And those beautiful white hairs continue standing proudly out from the developing buds. The photographs really capture that progression. We're no longer looking at tiny early flowering sites. We're watching proper flower structures develop throughout the plant. And there's something really satisfying about seeing those individual flowers slowly becoming more recognizable week after week. They're still developing. There's still plenty of time for them to change. But the direction is beautiful. And I genuinely want to see where she takes them. 🌸?❄️ ❄️ And Yes... She's Still Bringing the Frost The frost is also becoming increasingly noticeable. That developing resin coverage gives the flowers another layer of character, especially when you get the camera close. This is where photography becomes such a fantastic part of the grow. From across the room, you see: Chem Brûlée. Through the macro lens, you see: Chem Brûlée Pheno A. The little details start appearing. The trichome-covered surfaces. The pistils. The sugar leaves. The developing flower structure. Suddenly, the phenotype becomes much more than a plant in a pot. She becomes a collection of tiny details that you can follow from week to week. And that's exactly what I love about this diary. 📸❄️ 💡 Let's Talk About Photons Again Because this week, just like throughout the other individual diaries, I want to give some attention to something that we can't actually see... the photons. We see the LEDs. We see the flowers. We see the leaves. But we don't see the photons travelling between them. And yet those photons are one of the fundamental pieces of this entire story. The Future of Grow Black Series LEDs are essentially creating our artificial sun. Photons are being emitted from the fixtures and travelling into the canopy. The leaves intercept that light. Photosynthesis turns captured light energy into chemical energy. And that energy supports the plant's ongoing growth and development. So when I look at Chem Brûlée's beautiful green foliage and developing flowers, I'm also looking at the visible result of an enormous amount of invisible work happening every day. That's pretty damn cool. 💡🌿 ☀️ The Artificial Sun Above Her The Future of Grow lighting is doing something particularly interesting in this room because we're not growing just one plant. We're growing twelve different genetic expressions under the same general artificial sun. The photons don't care which cultivar they're reaching. They simply arrive. Then the genetics respond. And that's where the experiment becomes fascinating. One plant becomes compact. Another stretches. One develops a particular flower structure. Another produces something completely different. One phenotype takes her time. Another seems to have somewhere very important to be. 😂 Same room. Same general lighting philosophy. Different genetic responses. And Chem Brûlée Pheno A? She's giving us her answer. And I really like what I'm seeing. 💡 Photons Are Part of the Whole Environment And I don't look at light as something that exists separately from the rest of the room. The photons interact with everything. More available light influences plant demand. Plant demand influences water use and nutrient uptake. Light contributes to the energy balance of the canopy. The canopy influences temperature and humidity around the foliage. And the structure of the plant determines how efficiently that light can move through it. It's all connected. That's why I love the idea of thinking about the grow as a complete system rather than a collection of individual numbers. Light. Temperature. Humidity. CO₂. Water. Nutrition. Root-zone conditions. Plant structure. Everything talks to everything else. And the photons are right in the middle of that conversation. 💡🌿🌸 🌿 She's Becoming More Herself Every Week This is probably my favourite thing about this phenotype right now. She's becoming more recognizable. Not necessarily because she's changing dramatically from one week to the next. But because the small characteristics are becoming stronger. Her flower structure. Her pistils. Her resin. Her architecture. Her overall expression. It's like watching a photograph slowly come into focus. At the beginning of the grow, there were possibilities. Now? We're getting an increasingly clear picture of who she is. And she's definitely unique. That's what I wanted from this project. Not twelve identical plants. I wanted to see what happens when different genetics and phenotypes are given the same opportunity. And Chem Brûlée Pheno A is giving us a very interesting answer. 🌡️ Keeping the Room Steady The room remains broadly consistent this week. Current conditions are approximately: 🌡️ Day temperature: 29.9°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 RH: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: ~639 ppm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🥥 Substrate temperature: 26°C 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 💦 Watering: ~1.3 L/plant/24h ? Pot size: 15 L 📏 Height: ~126 cm Summer is still summer, of course. 😂☀️ Keeping temperatures perfectly locked isn't always realistic when the outside world is doing its own thing. So the goal isn't obsessing over every tiny movement. It's maintaining a stable enough environment that the plants can continue doing their work without unnecessary stress. And right now? Chem Brûlée appears perfectly happy to keep working. ⚗️ Nutrition – Consistency Wins Again We're also keeping the feeding strategy consistent. Current nutrition remains: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L With pH adjustment as required. Current solution is approximately: pH 6.0 EC ~2.0 mS/cm And again... there's no reason to change something simply because another week has passed. She's growing. She's flowering. She's developing resin. She's maintaining that beautiful foliage. So we'll continue observing rather than constantly intervening. Sometimes consistency is the most useful thing a grower can provide. 💨 Let the Canopy Breathe As flowering continues, we're naturally paying attention to canopy density and airflow. The plant has plenty of foliage, but we're not interested in removing leaves simply because they're there. Healthy leaves are working. They're capturing photons. They're contributing to photosynthesis. They're part of the plant's engine. So any canopy management is about purpose. If something becomes unnecessarily crowded, we'll look at it. If something is blocking an important area, we'll consider it. But otherwise? Let her work. The objective isn't to create the emptiest plant possible. It's to create a healthy, functional canopy where light, air and plant structure can work together. 📸 Behind the Lens And once again... Chem Brûlée Pheno A is making the camera very happy. 😂📸 The close-ups are becoming increasingly rewarding. Those white hairs are beautiful. The flower formation is becoming more obvious. The resin coverage is developing. And the structure of the plant is becoming easier to appreciate. Then you step back... and you see the whole girl. That's the magic of documenting a plant over time. One photograph shows a moment. Ten weeks of photographs show a story. And hers is becoming a very interesting one. 🍮 Unique Is the Word If I had to choose one word for Chem Brûlée Pheno A this week? Unique. She's not trying to fit a template. She's not trying to look like another phenotype. She's not trying to follow somebody else's timeline. She's simply expressing herself. And I really like that. Because when you have twelve plants in the same room, you quickly learn that there isn't one single definition of "beautiful." There's tall. There's short. There's compact. There's stretched. There's dense. There's open. There's fast. There's slow. And then there are plants like this one... where you stop comparing entirely. You simply look at her and say: "That's you." And I think that's where Chem Brûlée Pheno A is now. 🔮 Looking Ahead – Where Are You Going, Girl? And now I'm genuinely curious. Where does she go from here? How much more will those flowers develop? How much more will the resin build? How will the structure change as the flowers continue to mature? How will her final expression compare with what we imagined back when she was just a small plant? I don't know yet. And that's the fun part. We're not at the end of the story. We're somewhere in the middle... watching the next chapter unfold. So for now, I'm looking for: 🌸 Continued flower development ? Further pistil development ❄️ Increasing resin coverage 🌿 Healthy foliage 💡 Efficient use of the available photons 💨 Good airflow through the canopy 📈 Increasing flower definition and density And then? We'll see. 💭 Final Thoughts – Let Her Shine Chem Brûlée Pheno A is becoming one of those plants where I don't really want to predict too much. I want to watch. Because she's already shown us that she's different. She's unique. She's developing beautifully. Her flowers are taking shape. Those white hairs are becoming one of her most recognizable features. The frost is building. The canopy is working. And above everything... she's becoming herself. That's what I love about this project. We provide the environment. We provide the water. We provide the nutrition. We provide the artificial sun. We fill the room with photons. And then the plant takes all of that... and writes her own story. Chem Brûlée Pheno A is writing hers in a language I really like. 🍮🌸❄️ So let's not rush her. Let's not force her. Let's not try to make her something else. Let's simply give her the conditions she needs... and let her shine. The Future of Grow LEDs keep sending those photons. The Lumiflora lighting keeps helping illuminate the deeper parts of the garden. The environment keeps doing its job. And Chem Brûlée? She's doing hers. Beautifully. Uniquely. And completely her own way. Let's see where she goes. 🍮❄️🔥 🙏 Thank You As always, a huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the place to document this journey and share the details of these twelve very different stories. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Chem Brûlée genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore just how much personality can exist within individual phenotypes. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden with the growing media and nutrition throughout the adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow for providing the Black Series LEDs that keep our artificial sun shining and those photons flying through the jungle. 💡☀️🌿 And a special thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the inner and lower areas of the canopy and making our relationship with photons a little more three-dimensional. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us keep track of the environment behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who stops by simply to see how the girls are doing. This adventure wouldn't be the same without you. Twelve plants. One room. One environment. Millions upon millions of photons. And twelve completely different stories. This one belongs to Chem Brûlée Pheno A. She's unique. She's beautiful. She's developing. And she's showing us more of herself every week. So let's keep watching. Let's keep learning. Let's keep those photons flying. And most importantly... let's make this beautiful girl shine. 🍮🌸❄️💡🔥 Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle. 🌿📸🍮❄️

Day 54. Im about 3 or 4 days away from a 1 week flush and then a 48hr no water. Prior to harvest. Buds are very nice and dense and the smell has really increased.

Flowering has beyond started, looks beautiful and healthy, smells fantastic lol. Hope these continue to bring me happiness. Just put the netting in, she is budding i believe hopefully i get some juicy nugs out of this
