Hey, the three little ladies are doing great! Soon they’ll be transplanted into my pre-made living soil mix that I prepared 1-2 weeks ago. Let’s see how they like it!

16.02 First day of the fourth week of flower. Defoliated a little bit again. This time around I’m picking smaller amounts of leaves every day in comparison to one major defoliation on one day. Also I ve added pk booster at 100 ppm.( 0.2 ec) will gradually raise it over the next weeks. Lowering the base nutrients. I think they finally stopped the stretch and they are barely fitting in the tent. I ve added some swirski ulti mite . Predatory mites as prophylactic measure for thrips. I’ve noticed some tiny damage on a couple of leaves. And a couple of larvae.

beginning of the second week of flowering, the girls are still in the phase of extension and growth. no problem.

So it’s day 29 of bloom 💚🙏 very exciting things happening! Close to approaching half way through and you can see ata going to happen! Going to be big ole resinous buds! Trichromes are spreading already and aromas are catching the olfactory bulb and Making it go crazy just a whole variety of greatness! Got some more barneys to do after too! So if sponsorship goes as planned I’ll be in a bigger tent real soon!

Hey Guys welkome back in week 11 of the Sensi Serds Silver Haze, this week i stoped giveing C4 from Mills nutrients and start to give Ultimate PK also from Mills nutrients, buds should start to bluk up and faten more and more by each day, crystals also started to cover the buds and leaves. The NL #5 x Haze clonse are finale chilling, last week i started to gave A basic, B basic and “start” also all from Mills nutrients, i topper one already and the other one i will top this week. Thats it for now hope you all enjoyed! See you guys back in week 12 (almost there!)

Plants have now been somewhat defoliated, sex of the plants can now also be determined. Fertilized according to Bio-Bizz Shema It was watered every 2 days. ___ Pflanzen wurden nun etwas entlaubt, Geschlecht der Pflanzen lässt sich nun auch schon bestimmen. Gedüngt wurde nach Bio-Bizz Shema Gegossen wurde alle 2 Tage.

1 st nug harvested (cloudy + amber trichs). Hope I can start chopping 1 of the cream mandarine this week!

I’m so excited to show you guys week 3. These plants are huge!!! Even though I’m watching them grow right before my eyes I’m still shock as to how big they are. I browsed through other growers diaries that’s growing the same strains as me and I haven’t came across none as big as mines. The plants are responding well to their nutrients and TLC from me. I was planning to scrog this grow but I’m curious to see how big these autos are going to get so I’m going to just let them ride it out. Make sure to follow my diary for your weekly updates and give a like if you like the grow. Peace Love & Guidance #OwlGang #AGrowingEmpire

Hello again, GrowDiaries family! 😎 We’ve officially entered Week 10 (4th week of flowering) and the Critical is truly showing her full potential. This week has been all about environmental management and keeping the plant’s metabolism at its peak despite the winter chill. 📏 Precision Measurements & Training -Height: Steady at 37 cm. Vertical growth has stopped as she focuses all her energy on flower production. -Canopy Management: The LST has done a great job. The canopy is perfectly flat, ensuring that every "pompom" gets the same light intensity. -Visual Check: I’ve taken the plant out of the tent for some photos under white light to show the real progress of the trichomes without the LED distortion. 🌡️ Environment & Climate Challenges -Temperature: We’ve faced some tricky nights at 12°C, reaching 27°C during the day. -The Strategy: To prevent the plant from stalling due to the cold nights, I’ve started watering with lukewarm water. This keeps the root zone active and ensures nutrients are still being absorbed effectively. -Humidity (RH): Stable at 40-45%, ideal for keeping the developing buds safe and dry. 💧 Watering & Organic Pest Control -Nutrient Strategy: Still going strong with the full Biobizz schedule (Bio-Grow 1ml, Bio-Bloom 2ml, and Top-Max 1ml) in 1L of water. She is responding beautifully with no signs of overfeeding. -The Cinnamon Trick: 🛡️ I noticed some fungus gnats last week, so I applied a generous layer of ground cinnamon on the soil surface. It’s an old-school, 100% organic remedy that acts as a natural fungicide. Result: The gnats are completely gone! 🌿 Flower & Resin Evolution -The sugar has arrived! ❄️ Resin is now heavily coating the sugar leaves and the buds are thickening up fast. The white pistils are abundant and healthy. The aroma is becoming much more complex and penetrating! Thanks for the comments and for following this grow! Happy growing to all.😉👍

🚂 Cash Express – Pheno A Week 10 | Her Story, Her Rhythm, Her Spotlight 🌸🔥 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 And here we are again with our Cash Express Pheno A. She's still doing exactly what she's been doing throughout this journey: Growing beautifully at her own rhythm. She's not trying to be the fastest. She's not trying to be the biggest. She's not trying to follow anybody else's schedule. She's simply becoming more and more herself with every passing week. And honestly... I really like that. Because when you have twelve different genetics sharing one room, the most interesting plants aren't necessarily the ones doing exactly what you expected. Sometimes it's the ones that look at your expectations and say: "Nope. I'm going to write my own story." 😂 And that's exactly what Cash Express Pheno A is doing. So this week, let's give her the attention she deserves. Let's look at her development, those beautiful white hairs, her individuality, and of course... let's talk photons. 💡🌱 Because this girl deserves some light on her story. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Week 10 – Still Doing It Her Way Cash Express Pheno A is currently sitting around 72 cm. And once again, the number itself doesn't really tell the story. She's not particularly tall. She's not trying to become the biggest plant in the room. But when you actually stop and look at her... there's something happening. The structure is becoming increasingly defined. The flowering sites are developing. And the plant has that unmistakable feeling of moving further and further into her own expression. She's found her rhythm. And we're letting her keep it. That's one of the things I enjoy most about this entire 8×8 Adventure. We're not trying to make every plant behave the same. We're giving them a shared environment and watching what they do with it. And Cash Express Pheno A is giving us a very clear answer: "This is who I am." And I say... Go for it, girl. 💚 ──────────────────────── 🌸 Those White Hairs Are Becoming Her Signature One of the things I've really started appreciating about this phenotype is the definition of those beautiful white pistils. They're becoming increasingly obvious in the photographs. They stand out against the surrounding foliage, giving the developing flowers a really distinctive appearance. And this is one of those details that becomes much easier to appreciate when you're documenting the plant week after week. At first, they're just tiny white hairs appearing around the early flowering sites. Then suddenly... you start seeing them everywhere. They become part of the identity of the plant. And with Cash Express, I really like how defined they are becoming. The flowers are developing at their own pace, but there's no mistaking that they're developing. She's progressing. She's building. She's becoming more recognizable every week. And that's what makes following a phenotype from the beginning so rewarding. You don't just see a flower. You see the story of how that flower got there. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Same Genetics. Different Story. This is something I don't think I'll ever get tired of saying. Same genetics do not necessarily mean identical plants. And the 8×8 Adventure has been giving us a front-row seat to that reality. Cash Express Pheno A has her own structure. Her own pace. Her own flower expression. Her own way of occupying the space. Put her beside another phenotype and suddenly the differences become obvious. One might stretch more. Another might branch more. Another might stay compact. Another might develop its flowers differently. And none of those differences necessarily mean one plant is "better." They're simply different expressions. And that's exactly what we're here to discover. Cash Express Pheno A isn't trying to be anybody else. She's making her own thing. And honestly... that's pretty damn cool. ──────────────────────── 💡 Photons – Let's Give Her Something to Work With This week I want to put a little more attention on something that is fundamental to every plant in this room: light. Or, more specifically... photons. 💡 Because when we look at these beautiful flowering plants, it's easy to focus only on what we can see. The flowers. The leaves. The pistils. The structure. But underneath all of that is an incredibly simple relationship. Light provides the energy source that drives photosynthesis. Photons arrive at the leaves. The plant captures that energy. And that energy becomes part of the biological machinery supporting everything we're watching develop. So when I look at Cash Express, I'm not simply looking at a plant underneath an LED. I'm looking at a plant sitting underneath an artificial sun. And every day, we're giving her another opportunity to turn that light into growth. That's pretty amazing when you stop and think about it. ──────────────────────── ☀️ Future of Grow – Our Artificial Sun The Future of Grow LEDs continue providing the primary lighting for the room. And this is one of the parts of the 8×8 Adventure that I particularly enjoy. Twelve different plants. One lighting environment. And then we watch how differently each one responds. The light doesn't tell Cash Express what shape to take. It doesn't tell her how tall to grow. It doesn't tell her how her flowers should develop. It simply provides the energy. The genetics take it from there. And this is why comparing these plants is so interesting. The photons are available to all of them. But every phenotype has its own way of using the opportunity. Cash Express is showing us her answer. And I'm very happy to keep watching. ──────────────────────── 💡 Light Isn't Just About the Top of the Plant Another thing I love about our lighting strategy is that we're thinking about the canopy as a three-dimensional environment. Plants aren't flat. A flower isn't simply sitting directly underneath a light. There are leaves above it. Leaves beside it. Branches at different heights. Flowers facing different directions. Different parts of the plant naturally receive different amounts of light. That's where the additional Lumiflora lighting becomes particularly interesting. By bringing additional illumination into the inner and lower areas of the canopy, we're giving those less-exposed areas another opportunity to receive useful light. It's not about turning the plant into a Christmas tree covered in lights. 😂 It's about thinking about where the plant actually exists in three-dimensional space. Top. Middle. Inside. Below. Every part of the canopy has a different relationship with the light. And Cash Express is another beautiful example of why that matters. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Let the Plant Decide What to Do With the Light This is probably one of my favourite parts of growing. We can provide the environment. We can provide the photons. We can provide water and nutrition. We can manage temperature, humidity and airflow. But then... we have to step back. Because the plant takes over. Cash Express receives the same general opportunity as her sisters. And yet she's developing differently. That's genetics expressing themselves. That's the phenotype writing its own story. And that's why I'm not interested in forcing her to become something she's not. She's already telling me what she is. So I'm listening. ──────────────────────── 💧 Consistency Where We Can Control It We're also continuing to keep the environmental side of the room as consistent as possible. Current conditions are approximately: 🌡️ Day temperature: 29.9°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: ~639 ppm 💦 Watering: ~1.2 L/plant/24h 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🥥 Substrate temperature: 26°C 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 📏 Height: ~72 cm Summer, of course, continues to make temperature management an ongoing little game. One degree up. One degree down. Another warm day. Another slightly cooler day. That's reality. So instead of obsessing over every tiny fluctuation, we're concentrating on maintaining the overall environment as stable as we reasonably can. The things we can control... we control. The things summer decides to control... well... we negotiate. 😂☀️ ──────────────────────── ⚗️ Nutrition – Keep the Plant Comfortable The nutritional strategy remains essentially unchanged. We're continuing with the flowering programme and keeping the solution around: pH 6.0 EC approximately 2.0 mS/cm There's no reason to start changing things simply because another week has passed. Cash Express is growing. She's flowering. She's maintaining good colour. And she's continuing her development. So we're allowing consistency to do its job. Sometimes the best intervention is no intervention at all. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Flowers Are Becoming More Defined When I look at the photographs this week, one thing really stands out. The flowers are becoming easier to read. The structure is becoming more obvious. The pistils are beautifully defined. And there's a growing sense that these little flowering sites are becoming something much more substantial. She's not rushing there. But she's getting there. And that's enough. This is another reason I love documenting the same plant week after week. If you only looked at her today, you might simply say: "Beautiful flower." But when you compare the photographs from earlier weeks... you can actually see the transformation. And that transformation is the real story. ──────────────────────── 📸 The Camera Finds the Details Cash Express has become one of those plants where the camera really helps me appreciate the little things. From a distance, she's another beautiful flowering plant inside a very busy room. But move closer... and suddenly there's another world. The pistils. The developing flower structure. The leaves surrounding the flowers. The way the branches carry their individual sites. The subtle differences in colour and texture. This is why I keep photographing everything. Because the eye sees the room. The camera sees the details. And together they tell a much better story. ──────────────────────── 🚂 Cash Express Doesn't Need to Hurry I think this is probably the most important thing I want to say about her this week. She's still growing at her own rhythm. And that's okay. There is no race. She's not competing against the plant next door. She's not competing against another phenotype. She's not competing against some imaginary calendar. She's simply moving through her own development. And if that means she takes a little longer to show us what she's capable of... I'm perfectly happy to wait. Because every week she gives us another little piece of the puzzle. And I like the picture we're getting. ──────────────────────── 🔬 Twelve Plants – Twelve Relationships With Light This is where the lighting experiment becomes particularly fascinating for me. The same room. The same general lighting philosophy. The same artificial sun. But twelve different plants interpreting that environment in twelve different ways. Some plants seem to want to reach toward the light. Some remain compact. Some build wide canopies. Some build tall structures. Some flower sites become immediately obvious. Others take their time. The photons are the common language. The genetics write the individual stories. And Cash Express Pheno A is definitely writing hers. She's saying: "Give me the light. Give me the time. I'll show you." So that's exactly what we're doing. 💡🌱 ──────────────────────── 🔮 Looking Ahead The coming weeks should become increasingly interesting. We're entering the stage where the flowers will continue developing their structure and density, while the plant maintains the architecture she's spent the entire grow creating. For now, we're keeping the fundamentals steady: 💡 Future of Grow LEDs providing the main light 💡 Lumiflora supporting the deeper canopy 💧 Consistent irrigation ⚗️ Stable nutrition 🌡️ Controlled environment 🌬️ Good airflow ⏳ And patience No need to complicate things. She's doing what she needs to do. We'll continue watching. ──────────────────────── 💭 Final Thoughts – Give Her the Spotlight Cash Express Pheno A continues to remind me why I love this project. She's different. Not dramatically different. Not trying to scream for attention. But different enough that, week after week, her personality becomes clearer. She's growing at her own rhythm. She's developing beautiful flowers. And those defined white pistils have become one of the details I particularly enjoy about this phenotype. She's making her own story. Her own structure. Her own expression. And our job is simply to give her the opportunity to show it. The photons are there. The LEDs are doing their job. Future of Grow is providing the artificial sun. Lumiflora is helping bring that light deeper into the canopy. The environment is being kept as stable as summer allows. And Cash Express? She's doing what Cash Express does. Slowly. Beautifully. Her way. And that's enough. So this week, I'm not trying to change her. I'm not trying to make her faster. I'm not trying to make her bigger. I'm simply giving her the spotlight. Because she deserves it. 🚂🌸💡🔥 Let's make her shine. ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You As always, a massive thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure and taking the time to watch these twelve individual stories develop. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Cash Express genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover what these different expressions can become. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden throughout the journey. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for providing the LEDs powering our artificial sun and giving these girls the photons they need every day. And thank you to Lumiflora for helping us bring additional light into the inner and lower parts of the canopy and allowing us to explore the relationship between the plant and light from another angle. And of course, thank you to everyone following along on GrowDiaries. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person simply stopping by to see how the girls are doing. It all makes this adventure that much more enjoyable. Cash Express Pheno A is still here. Still compact. Still beautiful. Still developing. Still doing things her own way. And I wouldn't want it any other way. Because this isn't about making twelve plants identical. It's about discovering twelve individual personalities. And this girl? She's definitely got one. So let's keep watching. Let's keep photographing. Let's keep giving her those photons. And most importantly... let's make her shine. 🚂🌸💚💡 Until next week... Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💚 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle. 🌿🔥

This week brought some unexpected challenges My dehumidifier broke down, and until I fix it or find a replacement, the humidity has been spiking really high — definitely not ideal for flowering. 💦🌫️ I need to resolve this as soon as possible before it causes serious problems. Aside from that, the plants are thriving and almost running on autopilot! 🌱💚 They did show some stress after the recent demolition and lollipopping session, so I decided to lower the light intensity a bit to help them transition through this phase more smoothly. 💡✨ Despite the humidity issue, everything still looks promising — just hoping I can get the environment back under control soon! 🌿🤞

I'm trying to make these girls some beasts so I'm vegging the shit out these sexy little mamas.lol.i want them 2 feet before I veg but I just did some good training on them and brought my height actually down so when I can get all the bottom and inner branches to get tall enough to make an even canopy then at that point I will switch to flowering. I have been staying on the Greek regiment from nectar of the gods and my girls are responding nicely.nice lush green and plenty of new growth everywhere. I added the kraken from nectar now that I have the structure I want.this stuff really strengthens your plant.it also help with pests by making your plant harder to eat.it will also help those branches with heavy buds.check it out for real.if you like my diary throw me some likes.peace out fellow growers

🇩🇪 31.1. mal wieder in Form gebracht und einige Triebe entfernt die nächsten Wochen werd ich alle Triebe versuchen auf eine Höhe zu bringen. Und ich muss vermutlich etwas höher mit der Dünger Dosis langsam zeigen sich ein paar Defizite. Aber das sollte sich mit der Zeit regeln. Happy growing💛✌️ 🇬🇧 1.31. I've shaped it again and removed some shoots. Over the next few weeks, I'll try to get all the shoots to the same height. And I'll probably need to increase the fertilizer dose a bit; some deficiencies are slowly becoming apparent. But that should sort itself out over time. Happy growing💛✌️

Well here we are at the beginning of week 8. Super windy today but I got my new rain tarp up. June 25th gave all the plants pretty good snip except for Cinderella number 2 which is still slow but coming along tomorrow I may top all the other little branches not quite sure yet. just fucked up my pH metre by hitting the calibration button by accident and now I have no solution to recalibrate it so I'm going to have to wait and kind of wing it until the new one gets here in a couple of weeks but my pH in my house water is around 7- 7.5 12 ml of vinegar in 12 qts should be the ticket. Friday June 26th well I found a way to use clothes pins to use them as wait to hold the branches down I kind of like it tell me what you think. well looks like everything is coming along okay I keep the newts down I rather have them a little too lower than too high. well this is the last day of week 8 in July 1st and everything seemed to be going along fine but it looks like my Cinderella 99 run into a bit of a deficiency on the nitrogen and somebody let me know if this is right or not and if there's somebody in Toronto who can test the tap water for pH levels and let me know my pH metre is broken right now

Recently, in the tent of my friend, we have prepared plants for the cultivation of guerrilla outdoor. Later, when the plants are already strong, you took them out and organized 5 plantations of several plants. They will grow themselves, with minimal care in the harsh Russian climate. The big danger for us now is not the police, and hunters for someone else's cannabis. Who are the green hunters? These are bastards who do not grow cannabis, but steal other people's plants, they are ready for anything. When I was growing grass from my grandfather in the garden, I sometimes had to protect my plants at night with weapons, then I thought really to get a fighting dog, so that it bit off the uninvited guests eggs. Now my grandfather is dead, and now I grow cannabis as a partisan and at home in a tent. But the memory of those times remained. In Russia, a terrible tradition to steal other people's bushes. Just imagine, you on your back brought water to the plants from the river, looked after and loved your plants, and a greedy hunter of greens cut your plants under the root, without waiting for their flowering. I'm willing to kill these bastards, I sometimes found myself on someone else's guerrilla plantations, but I never took everything, took samples on a couple of branches and prayed for this man when I smoked his weed. Sometimes I hear from people that they steal other people's plants directly from private property from someone else's greenhouse, lulling someone else's dog. When I was drunk, I used to beat these people up really hard, because I had these green-hunter bastards stealing my weed, too. In General, let's hope that our plantations will not be found, and the plants will be able to harvest. I really hope so, but I don't really believe it, because I've had such a bad experience many times, let's see how it will be this time. I hope with your moral support, the police and the green hunters will pass by our plantations.

[Tag 6]💧💡 Zum ersten Mal mit Dünger (pH 6,0 / EC 0,8mS/cm) gegossen, ca. 5,5 Liter. Eventuell zu hoher EC- Wert, vielleicht ist ein EC- Wert von 0,4mS/cm am Anfang optimaler. Beleuchtung 25% (80 Watt), Abstand 65cm, 18 Stunden (08:00-02:00 MESZ). [Tag 7]💧 Hinten links etwas nachgegossen, ein paar hundert Milliliter.
