She's starting under a seedling lamp outside the tent and the humidity is a bit low. I used a dome for a few hours, but decided just to let her grow. Won't affect her too much in the long run and I really don't need to squeeze every gram out of my plants.

Hello. This is the end of week 3 and the beginning of week 4 of flowering. The plant is doing good. It's getting full flowing nutrient every second watering with rain water for the other half. Froze some extra pollen from this year and I'll be pollenating a branch on this plant this week. I'll leave this plant where it is tonight and not put it in the tent, it's been forced to flower for 3 weeks now. According to the article, written for the Netherlands, if you force a plant to flower for 3 weeks after the summer solstice, you can leave it out and it won't go back to veg. It's been a month since the summer solstice so it won't go back into the tent and can stay out. I live on the 48th latitude. OK. Be Great. Chuck.

24.08.26 nachdem die kleinen Autos geerntet wurden konnte ich die großen Photos etwas auseinander rücken und mehr Platz schaffen. Das Blütenwachstum nimmt nun deutlich Fahrt auf und jeden Tag gibt es eine Hand voll gelber Sonnensegel die ich abpflücke. In ein bis zwei Wochen werden die Pflanzen deutlich anders aussehen und weniger Sichtschutz zu den Nachbarn bieten. Der Wasserbedarf ist mit den Temperaturen spürbar zurück gegangen. Es hat in der vergangenen Woche nach langer Zeit geregnet. Happy growing allerseits!

Unfortunately, the plants have numerous leaves which look unhealthy (discolored, droopy, crispy/decayed). I removed the 3-4 worst looking leaves from each plant every other day, although I know that can be harmful to autos. Started adding in "Sensi Cal" this week to hopefully rebound from potential mineral deficiencies. Still using Recharge microbes once a week. Nutrients are now being administered accurately and at 1/4 the recommended level. Despite the unhealthy state of the plants, the pre-flowering bud sites look pretty good to me. I'm happy to see healthy looking pistils. Needless to say, I'm very eager to get these girls back on track and looking vibrant and verdant ASAP.

Week 10: 20/4 light schedule, 150 mp water per plant 2x, no fertilization anymore. Day 65: Next week Tueasday/beggining week 11/ we need to harvest because they will come from the council to check the houseπŸ˜‚ Well, the previous one finished in 69 days, but I think they won't be properly ready by next week. I tried it and made me high anyways. I would give at least 2 weeks more to be done. Tomorrow I will check the trichomes with magnifying glass. They are beautiful stinky girls. Flowers are getting thicker and pistils are getting brownish. Day 66: I checked the trichomes with magnifying glass and it will be ready by next Tuesday. 7 days left with this day. They are beautiful just check in the video (Day 66). Day 67: It is crazy the last 3 days was so hot here in London. Today was 38 degrees!!!!!! Poor plants even with ventilation it goes up to 30-31 degrees. Well, it is alright because direct ventilation goes on so they won't be cooked. πŸ˜“πŸ˜› Day 70: It is the last day when they receive water and they just get once and half of the daily intake. 2 days before harvest I will not water them. Harvest day is on Tuesday 30th of July when they are 72 days old. I have checked the trichomes all good they are matured nicely cloudy so now it is very strong. They are very stinky girls πŸ˜‹ Day 71: No more water for them..... Tomorrow is harvest day!!!!!πŸ˜‹

Hey so the girls finished the end of week 6 looking super happy again 😊 this hasn't been easy this run watering I've had quite a few mistakes on my part overwatering though giving the girls an extra day between watering seriously helped under LEDs . The girls are growing amazing and some girls are in the ending stages of there flowering cycle putting on weight and growing dense buds , at the moment the girls scout cookie's is gonna be finished for week 8 dead on and is ultra dense , something I've noticed with these girls , thicker stems , more support , denser flowers and overall general health seems really improved moving away from the HPS , going to start some on Terra aquatica RIPEN for thoes colours coming to the end of flower 🌼 This week I'm able to describe weather they taken there indica hybird or sativa genetics also weather growth is going well or bad depending on specific strains . All girls are now in flower so there colours are starting to show in one of the dosidos having nice purple buds πŸ’œ Girl scout cookie's Amazing growth from the smallest plant is nearly at harvest with massive dense nugs its truly a little freak of a plant displaying the purple leaves underneath The other girl scout cookie's is doing amazing and was left to grow normally the other in LST went hermi on me 2 weeks previously which was a sure disappointment being my biggest plant at that time but growth seems great on this strain for harvest times although plants are smaller than I normally get the yeild might surprise us at the end πŸ˜€ Gorilla glue Sporting a solid structure and vigour like I've only ever seen on anything containing gorilla glue genetics and going into late flower now , one plant is seriously feeding a high level of nutes , greedy beware and make sure to keep plenty of everything at hand for max growth . Some leaves are starting to show slight defenices alothough im not worried as towards end of flower this plant is Δ£onna look seriously cool Runtz 🚫 Girls are gonna be the biggest yeilders thanks to thoes skittles and hybird gentics coming from this strain donating its sativa high yeilds to this plant , two are late flower one is still stretching and is the biggest girl in the room by number of leaves and size , these strains end LST to provide enough space and light for these girl to promote there best traits . Feeding these girls are modest and not overall big feeders so it's not bad growing for beginners these girls will need to get a good few of there fan leaves removed to promote airflow and heat exchange Dosidos Girls are starting to pick up now , one has even rewarded us with out of this world purple buds πŸ’œ I love my purple πŸ’œ Growing well under LST although they has a slow start they seem to be picking up so heigh and I do reckon I'll get at least 28 grams a plant Lemon haze I've always misjudge the sativa strains as uncontrollable for a small room but I've been mistaken as these are looking to be good yeilder Blueberry Very tempermental, this is such a hard strain to keep happy in general it's been a pain in the arse , Headlight kush auto These are the same very tempermental and a decent strain but doesn't have great vigour like the ZAMNESIA seeds seem to be looking great and growing amazing these girls would need another run but at the moment I'm not happy about overall growth

πŸš‚ 8Γ—8 Adventure – Week 12 🌸 Cash Express – Pheno A πŸ’¨ She's Moving Fast β€” And Now She's Starting To Talk Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8Γ—8 Adventure! πŸŒ±πŸ’š And Cash Express Pheno A... Well... She's moving. And she's moving FAST. πŸ˜‚πŸš‚πŸ’¨ Last week we talked about letting the plants do their thing. This week? Cash Express seems to have taken that as a personal challenge. Because she's definitely doing her thing. She's developing. She's progressing. She's putting on flowers. She's changing. And now... she's starting to smell. A LOT. πŸ‘ƒπŸŒΈπŸ˜‚ And that's when you really start paying attention. Because there is something special about reaching the stage where the plant doesn't just look like it's flowering... you can actually start experiencing the flowering process with another sense. The aroma is becoming part of her story. And I'm very curious to see where this girl is going. ──────────────────────── 🌱 The 8Γ—8 Adventure β€” Same Room, Different Stories For anyone discovering this diary now, welcome to the 8Γ—8 Adventure. This project is all about putting different genetics and phenotypes into the same general environment and allowing each one to show us what she naturally wants to become. Twelve plants. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. One room. One 12/12 lighting strategy. One irrigation system. One general nutritional approach. One lighting ecosystem. One grower. And somehow... twelve completely different stories. That's what makes this project so much fun. Because even when the environment is shared, the plants don't read the same script. Some are compact. Some are tall. Some are incredibly frosty. Some develop unusual structures. Some move slowly. And some... like Cash Express Pheno A... suddenly decide: "Right. Let's get moving." πŸ˜‚πŸš‚πŸ’¨ And she's certainly moving now. ──────────────────────── πŸš‚ She's Picking Up Speed This week, the biggest thing I'm noticing is simply progression. She's moving quickly. The flowers are becoming more established. The plant is changing noticeably. And the whole structure is beginning to look increasingly like a proper late-flowering plant rather than a plant that's still deciding what she wants to become. There's momentum. And I really like seeing that. Because this is the stage where the plants start revealing more of their final personality. Earlier in the cycle, we were mostly watching architecture. Stretch. Branches. Canopy. Training. Structure. Now? The flowers are becoming the main event. And Cash Express is starting to put some serious effort into that part of the story. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Maybe Not The Prettiest Girl... I'm going to be honest. πŸ˜‚ She may not be the prettiest girl in the room. And that's okay. Beauty is subjective. And when you've got twelve different plants sitting beside each other, there are always going to be some that immediately grab your attention more than others. Cash Express Pheno A isn't necessarily the girl that makes you stop from across the room and say: "OH MY GOD!" πŸ˜‚ But then you look closer. And you start seeing her. Her structure. Her flowers. Her individuality. Her little peculiarities. And suddenly you realize: She's got charm. She's got character. She's got her own kind of beauty. And that's actually something I really appreciate. Because not every phenotype needs to be conventionally beautiful to be fascinating. Sometimes the unusual ones are the ones you remember. And Cash Express is definitely becoming memorable. ──────────────────────── ✨ Beauty Is Not Always About Perfection That's one of the things this entire project keeps teaching me. If I judged every plant purely by appearance... I'd miss half the story. Some plants are extremely symmetrical. Some are incredibly frosty. Some have perfect-looking flowers. Some have crazy structures. Some are compact. Some are stretched. Some are simply... different. And Cash Express Pheno A falls into that last category for me. She's not necessarily the picture-perfect princess of the tent. But she's interesting. She's unique. She's developing quickly. And now she's giving us something else to pay attention to: her aroma. And honestly? I'll take interesting over predictable any day. πŸ˜‚πŸš‚πŸŒΈ ──────────────────────── πŸ‘ƒ Oh... Now She's Starting To Smell This is the part that has really caught my attention. She's starting to smell. And not just: "Maybe if I put my nose close enough..." No. She's starting to make herself known. πŸ˜‚πŸ‘ƒπŸ’¨ The aroma is becoming noticeable enough that I find myself paying attention whenever I'm around her. And that's exciting. Because aroma development is another piece of the phenotype puzzle. The visual appearance tells us one thing. The structure tells us another. The flowering speed tells us another. And then the plant starts telling us something through its aroma. Now I'm curious. What is she going to smell like as she continues developing? How much stronger will that expression become? What kind of character is going to come through? And where is all of this going? I don't know. But I'm very interested in finding out. ──────────────────────── πŸ’‘ Still Under The Same Lighting Experiment And just like everyone else in the 8Γ—8, Cash Express Pheno A is still experiencing the upgraded lighting environment. Future of Grow supplied us with two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for this experiment. The additional fixtures initially pushed the available PPFD higher than we wanted. So we brought the output down. We're currently running around: πŸ”Œ 59% power from the plug with approximately: β˜€οΈ 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And Cash Express is right there underneath all those photons. She's not receiving a special lighting treatment. She's not getting a secret little VIP setting. She's getting the same general room environment as the other girls. And yet... look at how differently she's expressing herself. That's the fun. Same light. Different plant. Different response. ──────────────────────── β˜€οΈ Photons In β€” Cash Express Out This is one of my favourite parts of the experiment. We provide the photons. The plant decides what to do with them. And Cash Express seems to have decided: "I'm going to turn these into flowers... and then I'm going to make the whole room smell." πŸ˜‚πŸ’¨πŸŒΈ Fair enough. That's a pretty good use of photons. The upper canopy is receiving strong light. The lower portions naturally receive less depending on plant height and structure. And the plant itself decides how to position its leaves and flowers within that three-dimensional environment. We're not trying to force every plant into exactly the same shape. We're watching how each phenotype uses the space. And Cash Express is certainly using hers. ──────────────────────── πŸ₯₯ Nutrition β€” A Small Step Back For The Whole Room The nutritional program has also been adjusted slightly this week across the entire room. Terra Bloom has been reduced from: 🌸 2.3 ml/L to: 🌸 2.0 ml/L This brought the EC down slightly to: ⚑ ~2.05 mS/cm The rest of the current recipe remains: 🌱 Pure Zym β€” 1 ml/L 🌿 Power Buds β€” 1 ml/L 🍯 Sugar Royal β€” 1 ml/L βš—οΈ pH Plus β€” 0.03 ml/L πŸ‹ Lemon Kick β€” 0.03 ml/L 🌸 Terra Bloom β€” 2.0 ml/L Again, this is a room-wide adjustment. We're not trying to micromanage every plant individually. We're allowing the whole room to progress together while watching how each phenotype responds. And Cash Express? She's moving beautifully. ──────────────────────── πŸ’§ Still Providing β€” Still Watching The current irrigation is around: πŸ’§ 1.4 L per plant / 24 hours And the rest of the room remains under the same general environmental strategy. We're not making dramatic changes. We're not trying to force her into another stage. We're simply continuing to provide consistency. Because at this point... the plants are doing most of the work. Our job is becoming increasingly simple. Observe. Maintain. Provide. Document. And let them finish their stories. ──────────────────────── 🌑️ Week 12 – Current Room Conditions The current room conditions are approximately: 🌸 Flowering: Week 12 πŸ’‘ Light schedule: 12/12 β˜€οΈ Upper-canopy PPFD: ~1,500 πŸ”Œ Future of Grow Black Series output: ~59% from the plug 🌑️ Day temperature: ~27Β°C πŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~25Β°C πŸ’§ Relative humidity: ~60% βš—οΈ pH: ~6.04 ⚑ EC: ~2.05 mS/cm 🌑️ Solution temperature: ~25.2Β°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~26Β°C 🌬️ COβ‚‚: ~693 ppm 🌱 Pot size: 15 L πŸ’¦ Irrigation: ~1.4 L/plant/24h Same room. Same environment. Same general nutrition. Same lighting philosophy. Same irrigation. Different Cash Express. And she's certainly giving us something to watch. ──────────────────────── 🌿 The Plant Doesn't Need Us To Make Her Interesting This is another thing I really like about this stage. We're not doing anything special to make Cash Express interesting. She's doing that herself. We're not training her into some crazy shape. We're not manipulating her to create a particular appearance. We're not forcing her to behave differently. She's simply progressing naturally. And the more she develops... the more personality becomes visible. That's exactly what I wanted from the 8Γ—8 Adventure. I wanted to see what these individual phenotypes would do when given the same general opportunity. Cash Express is giving us her answer. And I like the answer. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Flowers Are Becoming Serious The flowering structure continues developing. The flowers are becoming more substantial. The plant is clearly moving forward. And this is the part where I start getting excited about the next few weeks. Because once the plant gets into this rhythm... you can almost feel the momentum. Every week starts bringing more visible change. The flowers become more defined. The plant becomes more obviously floral. The aroma develops. The overall structure starts looking increasingly mature. And Cash Express? She's entering that stage now. She's not finished. Not even close to writing the final chapter. But she's definitely moving. And moving quickly. ──────────────────────── πŸ”¬ Her Uniqueness Is Becoming More Obvious This is another reason I'm glad we're documenting her individually. If you put Cash Express Pheno A beside another phenotype and simply called them both "Cash Express," you'd miss a lot. This girl has her own expression. Her own pace. Her own structure. Her own visual personality. And now... her own aroma is starting to become part of the picture. That's what phenotype hunting is about. You don't just want to know: "What strain is this?" You want to know: "What does this individual plant do?" And Cash Express Pheno A is slowly but surely answering that question. ──────────────────────── πŸ“Έ The Camera Sees What The Eye Sometimes Misses One of the things I love about documenting these plants every week is that the camera gives me another way to compare their development. Standing in the room, sometimes the changes don't feel enormous. Then I look at photographs from a few weeks ago... and suddenly: Whoa. She's changed. The flowers are more developed. The structure is different. The plant has progressed. And that's why these weekly photographs matter. They're not just pretty pictures. They're a timeline. They're evidence of the journey. And Cash Express is building a pretty interesting timeline. ──────────────────────── πŸ’¨ The Smell Is Becoming Part Of The Story This deserves another mention because it's something I really noticed this week. She's starting to make herself known. πŸ˜‚πŸ’¨ And I think that's a beautiful milestone in a flowering plant. The visual side has been there for weeks. Now the aromatic side is beginning to join the conversation. And that makes me even more curious. Because we don't know yet how strong this expression will become. We don't know exactly where the aroma is going to develop. And I'm not going to pretend I know what the final result will be. We're going to find out. That's the fun. Let the plant show us. ──────────────────────── πŸš‚ Cash Express Is Moving Fast If I had to summarize this week in one sentence, it would probably be: "She's moving." πŸ˜‚πŸš‚πŸ’¨ She's moving quickly. She's developing. She's becoming more floral. She's becoming more aromatic. And she's becoming increasingly interesting. Maybe she's not the prettiest girl in the room. But she's certainly one of the girls I want to keep watching. Because there's something happening here. And I want to see where it goes. ──────────────────────── 🧠 Same Environment β€” Different Result This is probably the biggest lesson of the entire 8Γ—8 Adventure. We can standardize the environment as much as possible. We can standardize the lighting. We can standardize the irrigation. We can standardize the nutrition. We can monitor temperature. We can monitor humidity. We can monitor COβ‚‚. And still... the plants will express themselves differently. That's genetics. That's phenotype. And that's exactly why I wanted twelve individual diaries. Cash Express Pheno A is giving us another piece of that puzzle. She's fast. She's unique. She's aromatic. She's got charm. And she's becoming increasingly interesting as the weeks pass. ──────────────────────── πŸ”­ Looking Ahead β€” Where Is She Going? Now I'm genuinely curious. Because the next stage should be very interesting. She's moving quickly. She's starting to smell. The flowers are developing. The plant is becoming increasingly mature. So where does she go from here? How much more will those flowers develop? How much stronger will the aroma become? How will the final structure evolve? What kind of expression is hiding underneath all of this? I don't know. And I don't want to guess. Let's just watch. Let's document. Let's photograph. Let's smell. πŸ˜‚πŸ’¨ And let's see what Cash Express decides to become. ──────────────────────── ❀️ Final Thoughts β€” Give Her The Spotlight Week 12. And Cash Express Pheno A is moving. Fast. She's not necessarily the prettiest plant in the room. And I'm perfectly comfortable saying that. Because beauty isn't a competition. And this girl has something else. Charm. Character. Uniqueness. Personality. And now... aroma. She's starting to smell. She's developing quickly. She's becoming increasingly floral. And she's giving me another reason to stop beside her and take a closer look. She's not trying to be somebody else. She's just being Cash Express. And honestly? That's exactly what I want. This project isn't about finding twelve identical plants. It's about discovering twelve individual expressions. And this one is giving us a very interesting one. So let's make her shine. Let's give her the spotlight. Let's appreciate the flowers. Let's appreciate the structure. Let's appreciate the weird little details that make her different. Let's appreciate the aroma that's starting to fill the air. And most importantly... let's see where this girl goes. πŸš‚πŸŒΈπŸ’¨ She's moving. She's moving fast. And I'm enjoying the ride. ──────────────────────── πŸ™ Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for these Cash Express genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore these individual phenotypes throughout the 8Γ—8 Adventure. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the journey and helping us continue adjusting the flowering program as the room progresses. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for providing the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures we're testing in this room. Having more lighting capability, controlling the output and watching how these different plants respond has been one of the most interesting parts of this experiment. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing additional lighting deeper into the canopy and helping us think about the plants as three-dimensional structures. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us keep the environment under control behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following this crazy 8Γ—8 Adventure on GrowDiaries. Every week we discover something a little different. A different shape. A different rhythm. A different colour. A different flowering structure. A different personality. And now... a different smell. πŸ˜‚πŸ’¨πŸŒΈ Cash Express Pheno A may not be the prettiest girl in the room. But she's certainly got something. She's unique. She's charming. She's developing quickly. And she's starting to make herself known. So let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep learning. And let's give this girl the spotlight she deserves. Because sometimes... the most interesting plant isn't the one that immediately catches your eye. Sometimes... it's the one that makes you come back for another look. Cash Express Pheno A? She's becoming that girl. πŸš‚πŸŒΈπŸ’š Until next week... Keep moving, beautiful girl. We're watching. Growers Love & Happy Growing! πŸŒ±πŸ’š
