🍮 8×8 Adventure – Week 12 Chem Brûlée – Pheno B 🔥 Claiming Her Place In The Tent Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And here she is... Chem Brûlée Pheno B. And honestly? This girl is starting to claim her place. Not because we're pushing her. Not because we're constantly training her. Not because we're trying to make her look like something she's not. She's doing it herself. Week after week, she's becoming more defined. More recognizable. More beautiful. More... Chem Brûlée. 🍮🌸🔥 She's evolving. She's developing. She's filling her space. And we're basically doing what we should be doing at this stage: Watching. Paying attention. Providing water. Providing nutrition. Providing light. Keeping the environment stable. And then... getting the hell out of her way. 😂🌿 Because this girl clearly knows what she's doing. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Week 12 – She's Claiming Her Space There's something different about looking at Pheno B now. Earlier in the grow, she was a plant we were trying to understand. We were watching her structure develop. Watching her stretch. Watching her flowering sites appear. Watching her decide how she wanted to occupy the room. Now? She's made her decision. 😂 This is her space. This is her structure. These are her flowers. This is her expression. And she's filling that space beautifully. She's not trying to become another phenotype. She's not trying to copy her sister. She's not following anyone else's schedule. She's simply continuing forward. And that's exactly what makes this part of the 8×8 Adventure so interesting. ──────────────────────── 🌿 The Grower Is Doing Less – And Seeing More One of the funniest things about getting deeper into flowering is that the amount of physical work can actually decrease... while the amount of observation increases. Earlier in the grow, there was always something to do. Training. Tucking. Defoliating. Positioning. Moving branches. Opening spaces. Managing the canopy. Now? Not really. And that's intentional. I'm not looking at this plant thinking: "What can I do to her today?" I'm looking at her thinking: "What is she telling me?" There's a huge difference. And right now she's telling me: "I'm good." 😂💚 So I'm listening. She's receiving what she needs. The irrigation is doing its job. The nutrition is being adjusted as we move toward the later stages. The lighting is providing plenty of photons. The environment remains stable. And the plant is doing the rest. ──────────────────────── 🍮 Chem Brûlée Is Becoming Herself This is probably my favourite part. At the beginning of a grow, a phenotype is a possibility. You have a seed. You have genetics. You have an idea of what might happen. Then the plant starts talking. And slowly... you start learning who she is. Chem Brûlée Pheno B has been particularly good at that. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's hungry. She's beautifully structured. She's developing substantial flowering sites. She's producing frost. And she's got her own particular way of filling the room. At this point, I don't need to describe what she "might" become. I'm watching what she actually is becoming. And I have to say... I really like what I'm seeing. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Flowers Are Doing The Talking Now The structure is already there. Now the flowers are taking over the conversation. And they're beautiful. The flowering sites continue developing. The buds are becoming increasingly defined. The pistils are changing gradually as the flowers mature. And the resin continues adding that beautiful frosty character we've been watching develop. This is one of those stages where the differences from one day to the next can be subtle. But compare photographs separated by a week... and suddenly the progression becomes obvious. More structure. More density. More maturity. More character. And that's exactly why these weekly reports exist. We're documenting the transition rather than simply showing the final result. ──────────────────────── ❄️ Frost Is Becoming Part Of Her Identity The closer I get to this girl with the camera, the more she gives me. From a distance: Beautiful flowering plant. Move closer: Oh... there's the Chem Brûlée. 😂❄️📸 The resin is becoming increasingly visible. The sugar leaves are carrying that frosty appearance. The flowers are developing more texture. And those little details are what make phenotype documentation so much fun. Every plant can look beautiful from across the tent. But when you start looking closely... that's where the individuality appears. And Pheno B definitely has individuality. ──────────────────────── 💡 The Artificial Sun Keeps Flying The lighting setup remains the same as the upgraded 8×8 environment. We've now got the two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures contributing to the room. And we're not running them flat out. We're controlling the output at approximately: 🔌 59% power from the plug. That gives us around: ☀️ 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And that's plenty of photons flying around this jungle. 😂☀️🌿 But again, the important part isn't simply having more watts. It's having control. We increased the available lighting capability. We measured it. It went higher than we wanted. So we reduced the output. Now we have the headroom when we need it without unnecessarily pushing the equipment at maximum power. That's much more interesting to me than simply chasing the biggest number. ──────────────────────── ☀️ A Three-Dimensional Plant In A Three-Dimensional Light Field Pheno B is also a great example of why I don't think about the canopy as a flat surface. She's tall. Her flowers occupy different levels. Some are directly exposed to the upper light. Others sit deeper. Some leaves face the fixtures almost perfectly. Others naturally receive less direct illumination. That's simply how a plant works. She's three-dimensional. The light is three-dimensional. And the plant is constantly interpreting those photons according to where she has placed herself. We're providing the artificial sun. She's deciding what to do with it. And right now? She's doing quite a lot. 😂🌸 ──────────────────────── ⚗️ Nutrition – Beginning The Gradual Transition We're also beginning to move the nutrition toward the later stage of flowering. And, as with the rest of the room, we've made a small reduction in the flowering base. Terra Bloom is now: 🌱 2.0 ml/L This has brought the EC down slightly to approximately: ⚡ EC — 2.05 mS/cm The important part here is that I'm not interested in going from the current mineral feeding programme to absolutely nothing overnight. I personally prefer a gradual reduction. A little less. Observe. Another adjustment when appropriate. Observe again. We're approaching the final part of the flowering cycle, but that doesn't mean the plant suddenly stops needing everything the next morning. She's still alive. She's still functioning. She's still developing. And Pheno B is still very much working. So we're transitioning gradually rather than slamming the brakes. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Why I Prefer A Gradual Reduction When working with mineral nutrition, I personally prefer to decrease progressively as we approach the end. Not: "Full feed today." "Zero tomorrow." 😂 There is no magic switch inside the plant that suddenly says: "Congratulations, you're finished." The transition is gradual. The plant changes gradually. The flowers mature gradually. The foliage changes gradually. So I prefer the nutritional transition to reflect that. We're reducing the base. We're watching the plant. We're watching the flowers. We're watching the foliage. And we're allowing the plant to tell us how she's progressing. Pheno B is still telling us: "Keep watching." So... we're watching. ──────────────────────── 💧 Water – Still Giving Her What She Needs The same philosophy applies to irrigation. We're not trying to force anything. We're providing consistent water and nutrition through the system and watching the plant's demand. The current room setup remains around: 💧 1.4–1.45 L per plant / 24 hours with the root-zone and solution temperatures remaining around the mid-20s °C. The exact numbers matter. But the consistency matters just as much. The plant doesn't need us constantly changing things. She needs a stable foundation from which she can continue doing what she's already doing. And she's doing it beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Week 12 – Current Room Conditions The 8×8 room continues under the same general conditions: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: approximately 26.5–27°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: approximately 25–26°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: around 60–61% • 🥥 Substrate Temperature: around 25–26°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: around 25°C • ⚗️ pH: approximately 6.0 • ⚡ EC: approximately 2.05 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 693 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 • 💧 Irrigation: approximately 1.4–1.45 L/plant/24h • 🌱 Pot Size: 15 L • ☀️ Upper Canopy: approximately 1,500 PPFD • 🔌 Future of Grow fixtures: approximately 59% power from the plug The room remains stable. The lighting remains strong. The irrigation remains consistent. And the plants are continuing to show us their individual responses. That's exactly what we're here to document. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Changing Flowers Tell Us More Every Week One of the things I really enjoy about this stage is watching the flowers evolve. Earlier on, you see lots of fresh white pistils. The flowers look young. Everything looks like it's still being built. Now? You start seeing subtle changes. Some pistils begin changing colour. Some curl inward. The flowers become more substantial. The resin becomes more visible. The overall shape becomes more mature. And those changes don't necessarily happen at the same speed across every plant. That's another beautiful part of the 8×8 experiment. Same room. Different genetics. Different expression. Different timeline. Pheno B is following her own. And she's doing a damn good job of it. 😂🍮🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌿 Still No Need To Touch Her And this is probably worth repeating. Because somebody looking at the photographs might think: "Surely you're doing something to her?" No. 😂 Not really. I'm paying attention. That's different. I'm checking the flowers. I'm checking the foliage. I'm monitoring the environment. I'm watching the irrigation. I'm adjusting the nutrition gradually. I'm watching the lighting. But physically? I'm mostly leaving her alone. And that's because she doesn't need me to interfere. Her architecture is established. Her flowers are developing. Her leaves are functioning. She's healthy. She's occupying her space. Why would I start changing things simply because I feel like I should be doing something? Sometimes cultivation is knowing when to step back. ──────────────────────── 📸 The Camera Gets The Attention Instead So instead of reaching into the canopy... I reach for the camera. 😂📸 And that's exactly what these photographs are for. The wide shots show her place in the tent. The medium shots show her structure. The close-ups show the flowers. And the macro photographs show the little details that you simply can't appreciate from across the room. That's the beauty of keeping individual diaries. Pheno B doesn't have to compete with eleven other plants inside the same photograph. She gets her own frame. Her own page. Her own story. And honestly? She deserves it. ──────────────────────── 🔬 Same Room – Different Answers This remains the heart of the 8×8 Adventure. Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. Same general lighting strategy. Same irrigation philosophy. Same nutritional programme. Same grower. And completely different expressions. Chem Brûlée Pheno B has given us one of those expressions. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's hungry. She's frosty. She's developing beautifully. And now she's starting to claim her place in the room. Not because we're forcing her there. Because she grew into it. That's the difference. ──────────────────────── 🍮 She's Not Trying To Be Anyone Else And I think that's something worth celebrating. She doesn't need to be her sister. She doesn't need to be the smallest plant. She doesn't need to be the biggest plant. She doesn't need to finish on somebody else's schedule. She doesn't need to have exactly the same flower structure as another phenotype. She's Chem Brûlée Pheno B. That's enough. And the further we move through the grow, the more obvious her identity becomes. That's the real reward of phenotype work. At first you grow the plant. Eventually... the plant tells you who she is. ──────────────────────── 💚 Healthy Green Is Still Working And I also want to give some love to those green leaves. Because sometimes they don't get enough credit. 😂🌿 Those leaves are still doing their job. They're receiving photons. They're supporting photosynthesis. They're contributing to the plant's energy production. And while we're entering the later stages of flowering, we're not trying to force a particular colour change. We're allowing the plant to progress naturally. Some plants fade earlier. Some stay green longer. Some show colour changes in particular areas. Some remain surprisingly green almost all the way through. Again... the plant gets the final vote. And Pheno B is still carrying plenty of healthy green. So we're happy to see it. ──────────────────────── 💡 The Photon Experiment Continues The additional Future of Grow fixtures continue to make this part of the 8×8 Adventure especially interesting. We have considerably more lighting capability than we had before. But we're using that capability intelligently. Approximately 59% power from the plug. Approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. Strong artificial sunlight. Controlled output. And enough headroom to adjust if the plants ever tell us something different. That's the important part. The equipment gives us options. The plants give us information. And the grower makes small adjustments based on what they're seeing. That's the relationship. ──────────────────────── 🔮 Looking Ahead We're getting closer to the final chapters. But we're not rushing them. That's important. Chem Brûlée Pheno B still has her own work to do. So we're going to continue: 🌸 Watching the flowers ❄️ Watching resin development 🌿 Watching the foliage ? Watching the pistils change 💧 Maintaining consistent irrigation ⚗️ Gradually reducing the mineral base ☀️ Maintaining the controlled lighting environment 🌡️ Monitoring the room 📸 Documenting everything No unnecessary intervention. No forcing. No rushing. Just observation and support. The plant knows the timeline better than we do. ──────────────────────── 🍮 Final Thoughts – She's Claiming Her Place Week 12. And this girl is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Chem Brûlée Pheno B is claiming her place in the tent. She's not doing it because we've forced her. She's not doing it because we've manipulated her into a certain shape. She's doing it because that's what her genetics have decided to express. She's evolving. She's flowering. She's building. She's frosting. She's filling her space. And we're simply here to support her. The lighting is there. The photons are flying. The irrigation is consistent. The nutrition is being gradually reduced as we approach the final part of the journey. Terra Bloom has moved down to: 🌱 2.0 ml/L And the EC is now around: ⚡ 2.05 mS/cm. Nothing dramatic. Just a gradual transition. Because I don't believe in suddenly going from full mineral nutrition to zero overnight. I prefer to reduce gradually. Watch. Listen. Adjust. And let the plant tell me when she's ready for the next step. And Pheno B? She's talking. 😂🍮🌸 She's saying: "I'm doing just fine." So... keep doing your thing, girl. Keep claiming your space. Keep developing those flowers. Keep shining under that artificial sun. And keep showing us exactly what this beautiful expression of Chem Brûlée can become. ❄️🍮🌸💚 We're watching. We're photographing. We're learning. And we're enjoying every damn minute of it. ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for giving us the opportunity to explore these Chem Brûlée genetics and document this phenotype throughout the 8×8 Adventure. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden throughout this journey with the nutrition helping these girls continue through flowering and into their final stages. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for providing the Black Series lighting powering our artificial sun and especially for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures we're testing in the 8×8. Having the ability to increase the lighting capability, measure what happens, reduce the output and then find a practical operating point has been an amazing part of this experiment. We're currently running around 59% power and approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. More capability. More control. And no need to waste power simply because we have it available. Thank you to Lumiflora for continuing to help bring additional light deeper into the canopy and allowing us to explore the plants as three-dimensional structures. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Every week you come back. Every week you watch another phenotype evolve. Every week we get another little piece of the puzzle. And that's what makes this project so special. Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. And twelve completely different stories. Chem Brûlée Pheno B is writing hers with confidence. She's claiming her place. She's evolving. She's developing beautiful flowers. She's getting frostier. She's becoming more and more herself. And we're not forcing the story. We're simply providing the stage. The plant is doing the rest. 🍮❄️🌸💚 So let's keep watching. Let's keep photographing. Let's keep those photons flying. Let's keep the environment stable. And let's let this beautiful girl continue writing her story. Until next week... Keep shining, Chem Brûlée Pheno B. Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💚 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle. 🌿🍮❄️🔥

My ELUFAH UAP 1500 test grow is showing excellent results, with the plant thriving under my care. The addition of the ELUFAH Saturn Ring under canopy light has been a game-changer, significantly boosting growth. It's clear that the supplemental lighting is providing the plants with the extra energy they need for robust development and impressive yields.

5/4/2022 Node additions have slowed but overall growth continues strong and healthy. Continuing to make minor adjustments to LST. Generally watering every other day. Added too dressing of 2-4-2 dr earths and worm castings. May try daily watering but less water. They seem to love the fish tank water. Decided against the 3rd topping. There's plenty!

We have two Zamnesia Classic Skunk photoperiod plants: this beautiful one, also grown free-range, and the other, harvested the previous week. We've separated them for convenience and to distinguish them. The main characteristic of these plants is excellent resin production, despite it being summer. This plant was left to grow simply, and after 3-4 weeks of vegetative growth, we successfully entered flowering with a beautiful main cola, excellent peripheral buds, and above all, a superb amount of resinous honey. It has beautiful, compact, and attractive flowers. The harvest looks to be around 80-100 grams. I'll let you know more about the scales. The flowers, apart from a large main cola, are well-proportioned. Growth is clearly excellent thanks to a controlled PPFD. We're providing the right amount of light at every stage and are experiencing potency spikes thanks to Zamnesia. PPFD - We achieve a PPFD of 800 μmol/m²/s (shorter plants) up to approximately 1250 μmol/m²/s, using CO2 to reduce clade formation and high-intensity lighting. Measurements taken with Phantom Photobio https://photobio.com/ Lighting - The lamp used is the fantastic Zamnesia Phytonaut 480W LED, set at 85% to provide a good average PPFD for all plants, both those closer to 20 cm (1250 μmol/m²/s) and those around 40-50 cm (750-850 μmol/m²/s). The older plants were almost done, otherwise I would have double-potted them. Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/en/14526-led-cultivation-lamp-phytonaut-480.html The cultivation system is the Zamnesia Ecosystem, complete with a powerful and modern ventilation and extraction system, a very intuitive controller, the excellent lamp mentioned above, and a grow box made of elegant and refined fabric on the outside and the highest quality on the inside. The steel frame is unmatched on the market. Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/en/531-growshop/799-grow-box-complete Links may be local; Google the products if you have trouble using them. Nutrients - We are in the final stages of using only water at the right pH, but the plant was grown with Plagron soil and basic nutrients (strictly organic) and plenty of additives, but with proper flushing. All nutrients are available on the Zamnesia website. Also check out the living substrate and fantastic new product line from Zammi. You can find this classic strain at the following link: https://www.zamnesia.io/en/3316-zamnesia-seeds-classic-skunk-feminized.html (Google it if the link doesn't work; it's a national link) Zamnesia Description: When it comes to classic strains that have shaped the modern market, Skunk undoubtedly takes the top spot. It paved the way for countless hybrids and is still considered one of the most influential strains of all time. For this reason, we decided to preserve it as it is and offer our customers Classic Skunk. Classic Skunk by Zamnesia Seeds is the quintessential Skunk, pure and simple. We haven't deviated from the original in the slightest, because, let's face it, why would we change something that already works? The result is a potent, old-school Skunk with robust genetics. The aromas and flavors of Skunk strains are so pungent that the term "skunky" has become an adjective in itself, often used to describe the aromas and flavors of other strains. And Classic Skunk is no exception! Classic Skunk delivers powerful effects, both cerebral and physical. The mind is transported elsewhere, while aches, pains, and muscle tension are pushed away from the body. The effect is extremely powerful, so be careful. This is the perfect strain to enjoy at the end of the day, when you have little to do and just want to relax. A word of warning: Skunk is a notoriously pungent strain, so keep that in mind if you plan to grow it. Install a good ventilation system to ensure maximum discretion. Classic Skunk is just that: a true classic. If you want to try a reliable and proven strain that has stood the test of time, Classic Skunk is definitely the best choice. Try this old-school strain once and you'll never want to go back. Discover the true history of traditional genetics and you won't be disappointed.

144v Lux in tenebris lucet. Aristotle said "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." Those who are able to refrain from judgement long enough to genuinely research and weigh the evidence from all sides of a given subject are those most likely to arrive at the truth. Those who instantly resort to knee-jerk ridicule and continue to believe whatever they were first taught are those most easily deceived. Very high light intensity can slow vertical growth. She just doesn't want to grow vertically any longer; once the flower is initiated, that goes right out the window. Apical dominance is shattered; you now have every single stem fighting for survival against each other, with none given particular precedence over another. That is some stretch for a week, explosion. Doesn't matter if they are crowded now; there is space up ahead, and plant perception will fill every inch of available space. The divine intelligence that drives plant growth is far more efficient than any canopy I could make or spread myself. No defoliation. Sometimes you just need to give her what she needs to fill the space herself. All I do is guide the initial framework into the desired outcome, keep everything else flowing and in optimal parameters. Fast-growing leaves to have a lighter green color, sometimes appearing almost yellowish-green, because they haven't had time to produce much chlorophyll yet. New leaves are soft and pale, but they will gradually darken and become a deeper green as they mature and are exposed to light. Every morning, new lime green, with the micros supercharged, may be immobilizing nitrogen in the medium, magnesium was creeping in earlier, so I'll try to hold the line and see what progresses. The ratio of sugar leaves to buds is determined by a combination of hormonal signaling, nutrient availability, and genetics. Sugar levels act as a key signaling molecule, with high sugar availability influencing hormones like auxins and cytokinins to promote bud outgrowth, while nutrient deficiencies can limit development. Specific genes also play a critical role in leaf and bud initiation, expansion, and the overall balance of growth. Buds are like balloons! Need lots of pressure to blow up lots of balloons! Sugar balloons! Plant transpiration and turgor pressure are crucial for bud development because turgor pressure provides the cell expansion needed for growth, while transpiration creates a "pull" that draws water and nutrients up through the plant to fuel this process. High turgor pressure is essential for cells to grow and expand, allowing buds to open and young leaves to unfurl. Transpiration maintains this necessary turgor by driving a continuous flow of water from the soil up to the leaves, where it evaporates. No holding back, this is it, 4-5 weeks of all-out war! What we develop now will be all we have for the final 4-5 weeks. The carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio indicates how much carbon is in a substance relative to its nitrogen, affecting nitrogen availability in soil through microbial activity. A high C:N ratio (like in straw or corn residue) requires soil microbes to use a significant amount of nitrogen for decomposition, temporarily tying it up and making it unavailable to plants. A low C:N ratio results in a more rapid release of nitrogen for plant use. The carbon-to-sulfur C:S ratio in plant residue determines whether soil microbes will immobilize or mineralize sulfur (S) during decomposition. This affects the availability of sulfate SO42, the primary form of S that plants can absorb. Mineralization is the process by which microbes decompose organic matter and release excess nutrients, like sulfate, into the soil in an inorganic, plant-available form. Immobilization is the reverse process, where microbes absorb inorganic sulfate from the soil to meet their own nutritional needs, making it unavailable to plants. Glucose typically uses more oxygen than sucrose in a medium because it can be metabolized more directly, while sucrose must first be broken down into glucose and fructose, which can involve additional energy costs and a slower overall process. However, the efficiency of oxygen use can vary depending on the specific organism and conditions, as some bacteria, for instance, can use sucrose for a growth advantage under certain circumstances by producing exopolysaccharides that are more efficient at oxygen extrusion. Why glucose is generally more oxygen-efficient: •Glucose is a monosaccharide and can be used directly by many organisms in cellular respiration. •It does not require an initial enzymatic step to break it down before entering the metabolic pathway, unlike sucrose. •Due to its direct use, glucose can lead to a faster rate of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production in comparison to sucrose under typical aerobic conditions. Why sucrose might seem to use more oxygen in certain contexts: •When sucrose is metabolized, it is first broken down into glucose and fructose. This initial hydrolysis is an extra step that requires enzymes. •The fructose component is metabolized differently from glucose, and its specific metabolic pathway can affect the overall oxygen demand. •Some organisms may have regulatory mechanisms that lead to a higher initial oxygen demand when switching from glucose to sucrose, especially if the organisms have specific metabolic pathways that are optimized for sucrose. •While glucose may be used faster, sucrose might provide a growth advantage under certain oxygen-limited conditions due to the specific metabolic pathways and products it can generate. Seems my initial concept of sucrose was inaccurate. Really need to study up on all of this in the coming months. Take care. 9 To get the closest possible NPK ratio of 1-3-2 in 5 gallons of water: Add 2 tsp of the 7-4-5 Grow fertilizer Add 3 tsp of the 3-12-12 Bloom fertilizer Calcium can interact negatively with phosphorus and sulfur, add your Cal-Mag supplement to the water first if needed.

5/28 It poured yesterday so i dodnt bring the girls outside. Seedlings are transplanted into gallon pots. Once the fill that they'll go in final homes. I brought the plants out on this overcast day to harden them off. They're under the cover of the barn though placed by the open door. I've been putting in some work. Once this rain stops I have a couple things to do on the cage then I'll put the bags in the spots I have mapped out and mix my soil and fill the bags. The next day I typically transplant and add the first layer of supports. I have more pictures but not enough time to download them. 5/29 wow this site sucks. I have already done and saved this shit but its not here. Good thing I copy and pasted from grow with Jane. Only thing that sucks is I can't upload videos. It's not working here anyway so.... Watered and used about 3 gaterade bottles total. I may have messed up and watered the event horizon to much. They seem to be getting rootbound. Plants are doing well though with the transition. They are still hardening off. Tomorrow I plan to position and fill the bags with soil and if able I'll transplant them in the next few days. I want to make sure they're hardened off. Low tonight is 49 but it's 50s after that so I should be good. I'm hoping this video will load. Very stressful to do this shit over and over. 5/30 Plants have spent all day in tje Cafe and are coming in for the night. I finished mixing soil and filling the grow bags. They are ready for transplant. Weather is looking good so if plants respond well to this mild weather they will be transplanted with first set of supports added either tomm or the next day. Depends on plants response today (so far they're doing great) on whether I transplant tomorrow or the day after. I am sore as hell. Pictures are having trouble uploading and I'm not even gonna try to upload the video I took. 5/31 Plants have been taking a few days of full sun and they're doing fine. I'm planning on transplanting this afternoon. I had to water today. I weighed the pots and some were in tje 1200's grams which is dry. I'll update as I work. I have some errands to run then I'm putting the girls in their final homes. EDIT: WIND WAS RIDICULOUS! I TRANSPLANTED 3 OF THE HEALTJY GMO'S. WHEN I GOT BACK PLANTS WERE RIGHT SIDEWAYS FROM THE WIND. I WENT WITH INTUITION AND TRANSPLANTED 3 GMO'S. OTHER BAGS ARE READY. THE REST OF THE PLANTS WILL GO OUT TOMORROW MORNING. THE SMALL SUPPORTS I HAD DIDNT DO SHIT. I HAD TO ADD TOMATO CAGES AND TOE THE STALK TO THE TOMATO CAGE. SUCKS I COULDNT GET THEM ALL IN BUT BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY. TRANSPLANTS WENT REAL SMOOTH. KNOCK ON WOOD. I TJ8NK THE OTHERS WILL TOO. THEY'RE READY FOR A NEW 6/1 Finished transplanting everything. Easiest transplant I've had so far. 4 gmo 1 toasted toffy 1 sherb pie and 2 event horizon. Everything is in 20 gal smart pots. One gmo is in a 30 gal smart pot. The medium is 1/3 of each roots organic 707, fox farm happy frog and fox farm ocean forest. Used mykos when transplanting. Wind gusts were coming from everywhere direction so I couldn't put a tarp up to block it. I bought "grow cages" which are kind of like tomato cages. The wind is so strong it blows the plants right against the cage. Oh well. I hope it works out. I'll check on them a little later and see how they're doing. 6/2 It was 45 degrees this morning. Nice out now. Plants are doing good. A couple gmos are drooping but it was cold. One gmo looked as good as ever! Sherb pie and toasted toffy are totally unaffected. In this new area plants get a lot of direct sun. Slight tacking on the gmos in the front. The event horizons really needed that transplant. Grow cages seem to be working out well. 6/3 I Watered the garden this morning as its been 75-80 out. I only used a gallon of water for the 8 clones. I'm not sure if I watered enough when I transplanted or not. Some plants have some burns from the intense direct sunlight. Plants could've used a bit more hardening but they'll be fine. A few of them seem great and have no real signs of stress dispute 25mph wind gusts and 15 mph constant wind and this hot sun. I should go check on my plants again this evening but I figure they'll be alright until morning. I've had an incredibly busy day and they were fine at noontime. I'm going to consult my other diaries and see what I did watering volume wise. I've for some videos but they take FOREVER to upload. EDIT: Looked at last year's diary and it was rainy as fuck and I took way more time hardening the plants. I've had more going on in life which has effected that. Went over at 3pm and gave the plants 3 more gallons of water. Bags were light and soil was dry af. Granted I added soil after it settled but still. I watered one gallon this morning so I figured 3 more gallons would make it a half gallon a plant. Planning to increase to a gallon each if they do OK. Its supposed to thunder storm tomorrow so hipfully we will get some rain. I removed one leaf that was bleached but there are a few others. The weather is beautiful but we've gotten zero rain. In hindsight perhaps I should've given the plants an extra gallon at least.

4/10: Fed today. 4/14: Fed today.

34 days. Looks like is doing fine…defoliation, a little bit of food, but mainly water. what do you think?

SuperSativaSeedClub PurplePunchOG Auto Week 13 Weekly update on these two amazing ladies. This week I had some temperature swings from cold to hot but all in all they handled it like Champs. I checked the trichs today and only seeing mostly cloudy on the bigger one with still clear and cloudy on the one thats LST. I'll check later this week as I'm shooting for a 90/10 cloudy to amber. All in all Happy Growing.

Questa settimana c'è stato un po' di rallentamento dopo il travaso.nella foto sono al giorno 42. Una di loro dovrà andare via, sono in un box 90x90 (3×3) e ci sarà un'altra settimana di vegetativa, per poi essere messe in un vaso da circa 12 litri (3 gal). Già 5 mi sembra saranno troppe, in caso una riceverà una defoliazione sia prima che dopo la fioritura. Vedremo. Buon cultivo a tutti ✌️. Giorno 45: travaso in vasi da 8,5 litri. Tra due giorni darò una pulita alla parte inferiore dei rami, eliminando i rami che non raggiungeranno gli altri apicali. Di 6 piante ne ho tenute 5. 1 afghan skunk in alto a sinistra nell'ultima foto.1 dos si dos 33 in alto a destra sempre nell'ultima foto e 3 industrial plants. Buon cultivo raga. ✌️ Giorno 49: ultimo giorno di vegetativa. Il video è di questo giorno.speriamo che sia poca ma buona ✌️🤞.

Day 88. Had to do it quickly, before remaking space and better air circulating by root level for Bagseed run, so Mr Earlier OG is chopped. No photos, had no time, dry trim chosen, same as for all that run. Some day. Absolutely forgot to make photos of Tallest Og. That girl was with amazing citrus aroma, but was chopped earlier, trimed wet and given away as a present to one friend after 6 days of drying.

Baking soda is a touchy ph up for sure did a couple feedings at 6 on accident over all much happier with everything still a couple adjuments neeeded.

Hi, I will grow 5 Cup Winner Auto Feminized Strains in this diary, mostly Indica dominant strains. LSD-25 Auto Feminized Seeds By FastBuds: LSD-25 Auto Feminized Seeds are another addition to FastBuds ever-growing range of automatic genetics. A cross of LSD and FastBud’s own in house Ruderalis, creating another high THC and low CBD automatic purple strain. This indica dominant hybrid has strong scents of earthy pine and wood. A short life cycle of only 8 weeks makes this genetic one of the quickest flowering seeds by FastBuds, without compromising in yield size. This strain can be treated with no extra care so can be great for beginners, but if trained correctly yields can improve massively. Auto Glueberry OG Feminized Seeds by Dutch Passion: Auto Glueberry OG Feminized Seeds are another cup winning genetics, awarded 3rd Prize Autoflower Highlife Cup Netherlands 2017. This strain stems from Dutch Passions Glueberry OG, a cross of (Gorrila Glue x OG) x Auto Blueberry, to ensure the same attributes as her photoperiod sister. This versatile Sativa dominant hybrid can be used for SOG as well as SCROG. Due to the Sativa dominance, you can expect large yields whatever climate with a flowering period of 77 days. Another great automatic strain from Dutch Passions USA Special Range. Northern Light Automatic Seeds By Royal Queen Seeds: Northern Light Automatic Seeds are a great strain for growing both indoors and outdoors in most climates. A mostly Indica strain due to its Afghani genetics. A nice, sweet taste with a comfortable physical effect, a great strain for medicinal uses. Ready for harvest in only 9 to 10 weeks the plant starts growing and producing flowers almost immediately. Northern Light Automatic has a very generous harvest and may be one of the highest-yielding autoflowering strains available today. Growing to a height of around 90-120 cm, it is quite a large plant for an autoflowering variety. Auto Colorado Cookies Feminized Seeds By Dutch Passion: Auto Colorado Cookies Feminized Seeds are a high yield, indica dominant Automatic hybrid. An original fruity USA flavor with a Dutch Passion yield in automatic form. A cross of the sought after Auto blueberry by Dutch Passion and an exceptional Girl Scout Cookie from Colorado. This strain has some incredible aromas as well as strength to match. With a complete life cycle of 70 to 77 days you can gain as much as possible when it comes to yield. This amazing Automatic Hybrid is yet another great addition to Dutch Passion’s collection in collaboration with USA Genetics. Auto Blackberry Kush Feminized Seeds By Dutch Passion: Auto Blackberry Kush Seeds are another cup winning genetic by Dutch Passion, placing 2nd in Autoflowers, Highlife Cup, Netherlands 2018. A cross between Dutch Passions Original Blueberry and a Kush Hash-Plant has created an indica dominant hybrid with a sweet fruity taste. Dominance from the Blueberry tends to give to a sweeter characteristic, combined with an indica dominance from the Kush. Expect Vigorous growth as well as great dark purple hues from this hybrid later in flower. Average height of 0.75-1m when on 20/4 and all complete within 70 days from sprout. 24 hours light schedule, 90 percent humidity, trigger spray, no fertilization. 15th of August: I prepared the seeds and tonight I will place them to be in water for at least 12 hours. 15th of August: I placed them to the water. Auto BlackBerry Kush straight submerged. Wao....:D 16th of August: I placed them between damp paper towel. Northern Light Auto is the quickest she has already sprouted out.:) 17th of August 2019: All of them are fine the LSD-25 was the slowest and the Northern Light is the fastest seed that germinated. They are ready to be planted tomorrow ;) Day 1: I have planted them. 60 W LED for 5 plants 98 percent humidity, daily water 5ml per plant plus a lot of triggering to keep the humidity very high all the holes are closed, 24 hours light schedule. I just need to wait to them to be out :) Day 2: The winner is Blackberry Kush she is the first out. :) Rest of them still not out but I think by tomorrow most of them will be. Day 3: Super Skunk is not viable. The seed isndead all were out I checked she stopped growing but I didn't not find any broken part or the seed was not even dried or something like that. It has never happened to me the seed just stopped its life:( I will grow this strain next time. I replaced with Glueberry OG. All out by the way :)❤️ Day 5: All of them grow quick, 4-5 cm already, they are so fragile ❤️ Day 6: LSD-25 and BlackBerry Kush is 10 cm long they are the tallest gamers. Rest of them are fine with 6-7cm.

Hello All. I took a lot of pictures. Hope you don't mine, but I had fun. I think everyone likes to see large harvest pictures. It all started back in early January when I took clones of my favorite plants. It was a cold winter here this year, for these parts. So it was mid March when I got the plants out in the greenhouse. The spring was damp and cold too. I found powdery mildew in the garden about 2 weeks before I found it in the greenhouse. I got it on the Skunkberry and the Burmberry, But not on either Amnesia Lemon or the Sister Amnesia Lemon. I was very pleased about that :) I found some spider mites in the last week and a half. I decided to turn up the fans instead of spray. Yes they still spread but very slowly when they can't spin their webs. I didn't find many when I harvested. Everything else went well this season. I found a male Dr. Atomic Northern Lights that I liked. So I'll try to make some seeds with the Amnesia Lemon, Skunkberry and the Burmberry. I'm trying to fatten up the Burmberry. I'm interested to see if the Amnesia Lemon gets fatter buds and carries the P.M. resistance to the seeds, I'm hoping. The tall Sister Amnesia lemon in the middle did cause a drop of production from the plants on either side of it. They were in more shade. Something to work on for next year :) The Skunkberry had the most P.M. I used a new produce that I'm pleased with, it's White Wash frequency altered water. Knocks the P.M. right out. I found that if you put a large tray under where you are spraying you can catch the run off. I could use it a couple of times with no change in effectiveness. It must be the Scottish in me. I try to reuse or recycle as much as possible. Cuts costs, and help make me feel like I'm doing good and helping the planet. My feeding schedule was: I had a 15 gallon half barrel and pump with hoses and nozzles. I filled the barrel with nutrient solution and watered by minuets, 15 for clod days and 25 or 30 minuets on hot days. After 3 or4 days I added water when the solution got low. Mixed new solution once a week, and cleaned the barrel and pump. I also took the hose in the greenhouse and soaked them till run off once a week and measured the ph. I saw a few fungus gnats, but the spiders and nematodes (from my compost I added when I mixed soil) sure help to keep the numbers down. I like to put my buds in a paper bag to dry and cure. Inside I hang the buds for 3 days before putting the buds in paper bags. But it was so hot in the green house that 2 days was more that enough before putting the buds in the paper bags. The bags sat in the greenhouse for 3 days and then went in to the basement to finish. The old hippies told me that they use to put their buds to cure in the middle of a bushel of straw. I seems that the drying buds gives off a gas, that when trapped around the buds helps to take away the bitterness and raunchiness' of the uncured buds. The bags also help in wicking away the moisture of the drying buds, just like the straw did. After a week I check to see if it is dry enough. If the buds are dense the bag might need to be rehung for a few days to finish. I prefer a dryer bud. I like to hear a light crunch when I put a bud in my pipe. I like to hear a light crunch when I put the bud in a grinder. > Amnesia Lemon- Plant #1 North plant=343 g. >Amnesia Lemon - Plant #2 South plant=397 g. > Sister Amnesia Lemon - Middle Tall Plant=401 g. Winner :) > Skunkberry - Southern Middle Plant=316 g. > Burmberry - Plant #1 North Plant=239 g. > Burmberry - Plant #2 South Plant=294 g. > Total= 1990 g. or 71 oz. or 4.4 lbs. In Conclusion: This was my best grow ever! Big thanks to Barneys farm, for great seeds. I've got LSD started and I will try that in the greenhouse next year, 5/5 for mold and pest resistance. I'm very happy with the results. I was concerned because I have 2 rental houses behind me and one of them had a big backyard party at my week 5 of flowering. You could smell the grow by then and I was hoping I wasn't going to get ripped off. I looked through the fence a few days later and saw about 12 large plant pots, growing cannabis. I'm very happy. Cheers Chuck. > November 3 Added pictures of the seeds I made this summer.

I did the flushing on Mimosa on day 88. I am now watching the trichomes to see around 30/40% amber to cut it down.

Start of week 5, lady continues to put on weight and crystal Looking and smelling great, I have high hopes for this plant 😂😂😂 The gorilla zkittlez seems to be the most developed of the plants, expecting a fairly shortish flower time, will see though

6/13/2023 Week 10- Day 1 of Flower (Day 131 overall) (Day 70 of Flower) Auto Pilot Day 6.. Checked the Trichomes and the bud density and both are looking good.. Definitely needs a little more time for the Trichomes to be where I like, so based on my check I think we are still looking right around the end of the competition 22June to be done and ready for harvest. I do like that the fade is coming in the leaves nicely, so my chart I think is dropping off the Nitrogen exactly like it is supposed to. 6/14/2023 Week 10- Day 2 of Flower (Day 132 overall) Auto Pilot Day 7.. Decided I would take some contrasting pics today with my light up to 100 and my light all the way on Dim. I hope you enjoy the pics. 6/15/2023 Week 10- Day 3 of Flower (Day 133 overall) Auto Pilot Day 8.. Decided to take a look at the Trichome's today and Check to see where they are at and honestly if I might ho ahead and start my flush tomorrow and harvest on Sunday. 6/16/2023 Week 10- Day 4 of Flower (Day 134 overall) (Day 74 of Flower) Today I pulled an Armageddon however instead of darkness they are going to get 48 hours of light. The reason why they are going to get light instead of dark is when I was taking out the netting a lot of the buds were so heavy they fell over and exposed some areas I really want to get some light to... so 48 hours of light at 40% while I watch what should be a beautiful final fade as the plant eats up the last Nutes. If anything goes wrong I can abort take the photos and cut so will pay really close attention to how it is looking over the next 48 hours. Added 30 Gallons of PH only Water. Reduced Lighting to 40% removed program time off. 48 hours of light. 6/17/2023 Week 10- Day 5 of Flower (Day 135 overall) (Day 75 of Flower) I had someone tell me that a few growers had done as I did and Gone Armageddon on the plants. Filling it with PH only and said the plants did not respond well and they were taken out of the comp at the very end because they felt like the pictures just wouldn't come out right. Even though I did go Armageddon, The PPM is at 353PPM with the residue of what was left in the buckets after draining as well as what I am getting from the TAP so I think they are doing good but I am checking them every few hours to see how they seem to be doing and I think they are doing good still and are on track. I also started prepping the area for the pics tomorrow T-24 Hours until Chop 6/18/2023 Week 10- Day 6 of Flower (Day 136 overall) (Day 76 of Flower) (Harvest Day) What a day.. what a day.. what a day.. as I was setting up and trying to figure out how I was going to get my pics #3 stems started breaking, it fell over and other stems broke.. So no really stunning competition photo for her, she had such a nice purple fade.. #2 stayed up in the Tent so that is the one I had to go with to submit for the contest. I wet trimmed them as they went into the tent and they took up three rows hanging in tent. I also decided I wanted to try some so I put a little in the freeze dryer for a 48 hour smoke test.. I will weigh it and add that to my total weight for the plants when it is all done.

Noticed smell when entering the room.
