TommyBVRSA75 I start: 08/23/2024
And thus the occasional miracles happen, like an Auto Black Domina XL version from the OA Seeds store, after a few days in a glass of water and then moving to the hydroponic planting sponges, transferred to the substrate in the pot where the Critical Kush Auto from Barney's Farm has been developing for about ten days. It has flourished and is ready to grow, and for me, it’s already very clear that it is firmly established as a seedling and is on its way to becoming a full plant in just a few days.
For now, I’m giving it a lot of care with extremely high temperatures, equally high humidity, and successive waterings in very tiny amounts of chlorine-free water, while carefully maintaining a stable desirable pH around 6.20. I’m giving it special water, repeating the waterings with organic and super concentrated rooting agent like Raimil from Cannaboom, and with a seed that was considered lost, we now have conditions for this lady to continue developing and looking towards the future, considering how I will need to place it in a shared pot to allow for simultaneous growth alongside the Critical Kush Auto.
I had rarely used foam cubes for hydroponic planting, and if these are placed in the substrate and that same substrate retains water in the intended amount, we are experiencing germination rates that are happening when least expected. In another pot, another miracle is also developing along the same lines, and we’ll see if in the coming days, we’ll have yet another automatic for this season.
So far, this amazing Auto Black Domina has turned out great, as it’s a strain I really like for its consistent indica traits that it tends to produce in its hybrid character. I hope because the two phenotypes that this hybrid usually develops, this small "miracle" might be the more indica variant, which typically has characteristics at almost the same level and produces XL buds at the same height. Depending on how I manage it at different points in the SCROG, it may not yield a huge harvest, but it should provide a good number of solid buds from an indica that is generally very desirable for its unique smoke.
With the help of God Jah, let’s see in the coming days how it differs from the Critical Kush Auto with which it shares a pot; it’s not a limiting factor for growth in both strains.
Let’s see next week if we have the conditions to start the organic nutrition plan from Juju Royal, and for those that are further along, we’ll talk about how great these products are and why the results in this early stage of summer autos are impressing me.
420 always and until next week, may our Domina come out "dominant" in its growth!

TommyBVRSA75 Finally, I can say it, the Auto Black Domina XL is finally moving to the vegetative stage and the doubts that could have arisen are contained.
There was a need for a transplant, and in the end, the decision was to put the Auto Black Domina XL in a substrate mostly made of coco.
Anyway, some doubts remain and will continue to linger due to the genetics, being a bulk from an online store like Cogolandia and being a relatively old seed stored in the cold, against all odds, it ended up germinating and is now growing.
Let's see if it will be an excellent genetic variety and if, at such a low cost, it ends up bringing something really good. Sometimes, bulks are when you get the best surprises, just like that joint of Amnesia that some friends from Córdoba gifted me, which got me high for almost an entire night. And being an experiment from the kids, they ended up with a "veggie" from the "fucking Matrix," and I hope my bulk Auto Black Domina turns out to be a champion. It's a shame that autos don't let you take quality clones, but let's take it easy and see how this "little girl" behaves in the coming days... so far, she was brave during the transplant, hardly showing any signs of stress, and in the coco, she is developing in the best way, which makes me very happy.
God Jah, to whom I ask so much,... turn the "Thumbelina" Domina into a movie Domina so that against all odds, I have a "veggie" to get my buddies high.
420 forever and until next week for the adventures of the Domina...

TommyBVRSA75 Well, very good, the Auto Black Domina has started to take shape despite my concerns about its growth in these early weeks.
As I mentioned, the substrate used for the development of the Black Domina is largely Ugro coco, and I've been keeping a close eye out for any signs of imbalance, which haven't occurred.
The second phase grows have had to endure conditions of water stress and very high temperatures, and this has somehow led to a growth rate that is taking up more space, but there are no major issues, and in the last few days with the cooler temperatures, it has contributed to more vigorous growth.
Leaving the path and guard to God Jah, I’ll see you all next week, sending a 420 hug to all my brothers.

TommyBVRSA75 And in the end, the mysterious bulk from OA Seeds - a pretty normal online store in Spain, which among many offers of seeds from banks that often don't have them, sometimes has their special bulks like our Auto Black Domina XL, which, being special within its bulk variety, has a price somewhat higher than the bulks of 1 and 2 Euros from "all my life." I ended up talking about it over a year ago when I bought some seeds from the friends at OA Seeds, I think it was something from Advanced Seeds on promotion, and since I didn't have any, I asked them for some of the cheaper seeds as a gift, but I also asked for something they had developed and that I could buy at a slightly higher price of around 4 euros, but that would be like one of the star strains from OA Seeds. The very friendly attendant, when I asked her which of their best seeds I should order, told me Auto Black Domina XL, and so it came from the store in a very shabby Zip bag, with the name written in permanent marker, and I left it in my stash in the refrigerator to give to any friend who was starting out in this growing thing.
And so it stayed for a year and a bit more, no longer with much faith in either giving it away or even planting it myself... but fate has incredible things in store.
At the end of August, when I tried to germinate another Black Domina from a seed bank that I can't remember right now, I put it in a glass of water and waited for it to germinate, and the first "Domina" (the one from the bank didn't germinate) and I went to the refrigerator where I had the OA Seeds seed of the XL version of their special bulk of the Black Domina Auto, I put it in the same glass where the first one hadn't germinated, and I almost forgot about it for three days, and when I went to check on the Auto Black Domina XL from OA Seeds... it germinated, and I transferred it to a pot where I collected leftover soil and old coconut fiber, adding some guano, perlite, vermiculite, and the secret ingredient, I put the germinated seed in a "kamikaze" transplant two days later, not believing too much that it would succeed, and that a week after the transplant, it would have wilted or something like that, and so I tell you... it was the first ten days in a very shy and small seedling, but today at 21 days, in the last 11 days you can already see the wonder that has come out. (As if saying to me "hey dude, you didn't have faith in me? well, just so you know, I'm a 'lady' plant, strong and with maximum vigor and quality)... and more so because in life, ironies happen, I hadn't talked to a friend about this growing thing for almost two years, and I told him about the Auto Black Domina XL from OA Seeds, and he says to me "Dude, what a wonder... you don't know what you have in your hands... I already grew one two years ago, and it has been one of the best, most stable, with the highest quality and production level I've ever had, and I had already asked OA Seeds for more, but they no longer have that wonder."
So without my friend needing to tell me, it has been very clear that in 11 days, this bulk is showing the stature of a wonderful indica genetic, already with very specific terpenes from the Domina and with incredible strength.
You can already see that I've been able to do some LST to direct it to the growing space since I've been told it grows up to a meter indoors without much effort and that afterward, it's super productive with the limitation of having such heavy and resinous buds that many times you have to add guides so that the lateral branches can hold the weight of the Black Domina, and there it goes... this is the incredible story of how a seed has told me "the quality is something I provide, and it's up to you to put in the faith and work for my genetics to reach the potential I have."
May God Jah keep it safe, just like all the other grows and all the growers and friends.
420 Always, and next week we'll know more about the "quirky" pedigree Black Domina, but that's where I stand!

TommyBVRSA75 As always, right in the middle of the grow cycle, I’m sharing a video so you can follow my progress.
It’s a privilege to have so many friends (more than just followers).
4:20 Always, and may God Jah keep us safe.
All you need is Love (CANSerbero LIVES).
Una de las automaticas más aceptables que he echo grow.
No impresiona ni por calidad de cogollos, ni por un humo que sea destacable.
Lo mio no son las automáticas y cada vez más es muy claro. Puede incluso que los bancos de semillas se gasten millonadas en marketing pero en calidad las automáticas todavía está muy lejos de las feminizadas. Antes más tiempo y mejor calidad que las prisas y cogollos que siempre están muy lejos de lo deseable.
