This strain yields firm compact cookie tasting buds , like biscuits, grew well under my LEDs , in 12-13 Weeks in DWC on 20/4 , I will also say how similar both plants taste , which can sometimes not be the case , so pheno stability in this strain is also good. Top bud for sure , smells is good , but that Strawberry pie now that’s that’s a different story .......

The bud growth with the administration of URB is well evident. June 27, fungus leaves defoliated by hand.

Day 21 Topping. Day 26 Training. As 3rd week here and the Pablo Escobar aswering very good,she growing very fast and have done topping.Had add some the ppm too with plagron.Thanks for Watching

One of the CreamCheese seeds doesn’t make it past rooters

Picture 1 and second video: 20th and 21st November Plant is looking really healthy so far and can take a decent amount of Water and Nutrients. Also the first Pistols are showing up! pictures and video (3-5): 25th November Plant made a good stretch and reached a height of 145cm. Looking like a bonsai tree right now. Gave her 10l with a 2.3EC on the 24th and she is looking very healthy! I’m looking to thin her up a bit at thursday (day 21) to get some light penetration. I will also do some lollipopping to get this plant to its full potential. pictures and video (6-9) 28th November Gave her a really aggressive cut/lollipopping and deployed the scrog net… also did a little lst to get an even canopy. The plant was quite big before and I was a little scared that she will stretch too much…. But we will see 😜🤟🏻 See ya next week

What a plant this is.. im blown away im on 8 tops compared to 4 on my other 3 diff strains and already bounced bk and going for more! Happy plants guys!

These babies are behaving exactly how I want them to. So far no signs of preflowers at all, this is good because my light is farther away than I’d like and AVT is still finishing up in the tent and she creates shade. So they haven’t been growing as fast but they are looking healthy and happy, I’m sure they’ll take off in growth once they get the entire light and space. I topped Pink Kush on day 23 above the 5th node and I pruned the first node as these never really make great stems for big buds. In the next day or two I’ll top the other three ladies and prune first node as well.

🌱 Black Diamond Auto – Plant B | Week 4 | 12/12 From Seed Another Diamond Begins to Show Its Shape 💎 Welcome back to another update from my 8×8 Adventure, where every plant gets the opportunity to tell its own story. This is Black Diamond Auto – Plant B, the sister of Plant A. While they share the same genetics, the same environment, the same feeding schedule and the same light, it’s already fascinating to watch how differently they choose to grow. Plant B has developed into a much more compact structure. She isn’t chasing height like her sister—instead she’s building a dense, symmetrical framework with tight internodal spacing and a very healthy canopy. Sometimes the smallest plants surprise us the most once flowering really begins. Both plants are being grown under my favorite challenge: 12/12 from seed. For those joining the diary for the first time, this means the plants have been under a 12 hours on / 12 hours off light schedule from the day they germinated. Instead of spending weeks in vegetative growth under 18 or 20 hours of light, they naturally transition into flowering much sooner, creating unique plant structures while allowing more harvests throughout the year. Every run teaches something new, and this comparison between two sisters should be another interesting chapter. ⸻ 🌱 Environment This week the room remained very stable despite the summer temperatures. • Day temperature: 33°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 63% • pH: 6.1 • EC: 1.35 mS/cm • CO₂: 639 ppm The plants continue growing inside 15 L pots, receiving approximately 1.1 L of nutrient solution per day. ⸻ 💧 Hand-Watering vs AutoPot Unlike her sister, Plant B is still being hand-watered. Both plants receive exactly the same nutrient recipe, but the irrigation method is different. This should make for an interesting comparison later in the grow. Hand-watering gives me complete control over when and how much solution she receives, allowing the substrate to go through gentle wet and dry cycles before each irrigation. Her sister, meanwhile, is growing inside an AutoPot system. The AutoPot uses an AquaValve, a clever mechanical valve that automatically opens and closes depending on the water level inside the tray. As the plant drinks, the valve refills the tray without pumps, electricity or timers, allowing the roots to take exactly what they need whenever they need it. Will continuous bottom feeding produce faster growth than traditional hand-watering? That’s one of the questions this grow hopes to answer. ⸻ 🌿 Training No topping. No supercropping. No heavy stress. This week has been all about Low Stress Training (LST). Branches continue being gently bent outward to improve light penetration across the canopy while maintaining an even structure. Every day I spend a few minutes adjusting stems, leaf tucking large fan leaves and opening small windows of light for the developing side branches. It’s amazing how much a few careful adjustments can change the architecture of a plant without causing any significant stress. The goal is simple: * create an even canopy * expose future flowering sites * maximize airflow * let every branch earn its place under the LEDs Plant B has responded beautifully, staying compact while becoming wider with every passing day. ⸻ 🌸 The First Signs of Flower By the end of Week 4 the first pistils are finally appearing. This is always one of my favorite moments in a 12/12 from seed project. The transition happens naturally, almost quietly, until one morning those first white hairs appear and you know the next chapter has officially begun. Stretch is only beginning, but her structure suggests she’ll remain shorter and bushier than Plant A. Two sisters. Same genetics. Same room. Same nutrients. Yet completely different personalities. That’s exactly why I love documenting every individual plant. ⸻ 🍽️ Feeding This week’s recipe remained simple and consistent: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L EC remained at 1.35, with pH adjusted to 6.1 before every watering. She continues responding with vigorous growth, healthy color and strong new shoots throughout the canopy. ⸻ 📸 Final Thoughts Watching siblings develop side by side is one of the most rewarding parts of growing. Plant A seems determined to become the taller, more vigorous sister. Plant B is taking a different path—shorter, denser and incredibly well balanced. Neither is better. They’re simply expressing different sides of the same genetics, and that’s exactly what makes these side-by-side diaries so enjoyable. The stretch has only just begun, flowering is officially underway, and I’m excited to see whether hand-watering can keep pace with the AutoPot system over the coming weeks. Only time—and plenty of photos—will tell. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You As always, thank you to everyone following this adventure from around the world. To GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers can learn from one another. To Plagron for the nutrients that continue feeding this project. To the incredible breeders behind Black Diamond Auto. To the teams behind the LEDs, the equipment and every tool helping make this grow possible. And finally, thank you to every person who stops by these diaries. Whether you’ve been here since day one, discovered the journey this week, leave comments, ask questions, share advice, quietly read along, or even challenge my methods—you all contribute to making this project better. Every interaction is another opportunity to learn, improve and keep growing together. Growers Love and see you all next week. Happy growing. 🌱💚

Hello, fellow growers I thank you for having dedicated your attention to my garden and I hope that the contents are to your liking and help for your growth.

Week IX — The Trial of Fire A big heat storm has descended upon Eldritch Gardens. For this week, the chamber has endured an oppressive wave of warmth and humidity. The air hangs heavy beneath the false suns. Moisture lingers where it should not. The fans labor endlessly against the thick atmosphere, yet the garden persists. Plant #1 — The Fat One — Colas swell across its sprawling structure like great green towers rising from an eldritch city. Everywhere the eye wanders, new clusters emerge, stacking upon one another in formations of almost absurd density. The buds are becoming enormous. The resin thickens. The promise grows heavier by the day. And its fragrance has evolved into something magnificent. The sharp gas that once dominated now mingles with rich notes of fruit, creating an intoxicating combination that drifts through the chamber. Beneath it all lurks a peculiar marker-like sharpness, a scent reminiscent of permanent ink and strange chemistry. Plant #2 — The Battered One --Though Plant #1 commands attention through sheer mass, Plant #2 reaches higher into the artificial heavens, its towering structure crowned with beautifully formed colas that continue to stack with remarkable consistency. Every branch seems determined to become a flowering spear aimed toward the false stars above. Its scent is simpler. More direct. Pure diesel. An aroma so aggressive and unmistakable that it announces its presence long before the plant itself comes into view. Plant #5 — The Red One. The mutant. The mystery. While the others settled into their flowering forms, Plant #5 delivered one final surprise. During the third week of bloom, it unleashed a dramatic stretch, surging upward with unexpected determination until it nearly matched its larger companions in height. No longer dwarfed. No longer forgotten. Its fragrance follows the diesel lineage of the garden, yet carries a sweeter undertone that softens the harsh edges of fuel and transforms it into something more exotic. Yet its peculiarities remain. Flowers continue to emerge from improbable places. Buds appear where leaves should dominate. Certain formations seem almost confused, as though the plant follows a biological script written by a different author than the others. The mutations persists. And strangely, that only deepens its charm. The garden now stands at a fascinating crossroads. The stretch is over. The architecture has been built. The battle for space has already been won. Now comes the era of swelling flowers. The era of resin. The era of aroma. The heat wave may challenge the chamber, but the chosen three continue their work undeterred. Their roots drink relentlessly. Their flowers expand daily. Their scents mingle into a thick cloud of fruit, gas, diesel, sweetness, and strange chemical whispers. And from somewhere beyond the humming fans and shimmering LEDs, the ancient god watches patiently as the harvest slowly reveals the secrets hidden within The Gassy One.

The final week! 12 weeks since germination, 11 since first sprout. These Apollo F1's vastly outgrew their advertised size and bud density. I will be cutting them down tomorrow and updating with the harvest page and photos soon. Great second grow!

So from the off this strain really does give it what for as they grow big quick which is always a good sign. So getting into veg they carried on growing really well and big especially the fan leaves and loved the training that I did. So going into the flower stage they grew at some rate so be careful about when you switch them as they do nearly triple in size just bare that in mind and it's definitely a 12 week flower not 8 ☹️ but we'll worth the wait😁 So overall I would give this strain a 7 would of been 10 if had been a 8 week strain. Happy Times Happy Growing 😁 🌿

Beautiful lady! Idk what day she went to. She finished up right as we came home from vacation so I just had to handle her the best I could before her ripening too far. I’m so happy with her she smells Devine! So sweet like candy and straight gas! So sticky took forever to trim for trim jail. I’m so so happy with her!!!!

Day 76 The OG is now in the dark room and will chop in a day or 2 .. the GSC needs some more time 15L Air pots, BioBizz light mix, extra perlite, Bio Nova Microlife, The ExHale Homegrown CO2 Bag

14.12: Last week; we’re about to finish! Will update you soon. Keep an eye on the harvest posts. 16.12: Fade about to run out will change to RO+Cleanse when it does, Will run 3 days of RO to as scheduled from Athena on 6-6.4 I did write a reaaaaaally detailed post but growdiaries managed to delete/not post it

so this was the last week before harvest.. i intended to cut her down christmas day but decided to put her in 2 days of darkness before the chop.. she is now harvested an sat for a few days be4 entering jars for a curing.. the smell and these nugs is so yummi 😅

Day 36: The time has finally come to start my first flowering week (I think🤣) someone please correct me if I’m wrong. She’s starting to show a lot of pistils and she’s literally doubled in height from last week. With the tips of leafs looking like they’re about to start suffering from some sort of nutrient burn I’ve simply continued with a smaller dose. I suppose this strain just doesn’t take well to heavy nutrients. Also would anyone recommend me doing lst at the age it is? Or should I just leave it free growing up. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Happy growing! Day 37: she just keeps on growing. 3cm overnight and lst is definitely out of the question now. She’s drinking a lot more water and I’m now watering every other day. Day 38: not much to say apart from growth is rapid. Still seems rather wet so I think I’ll leave watering until tomorrow. I took a video to go with this week but unfortunately uploading it to here seems to have lowered the quality. Day 39: once again huge amounts of growth. I did end up having to water yesterday. She’s a very thirsty plant. I’ll start giving larger amounts of water tomorrow. Day 40: she continues to grow and grow, I’ve learned a lot from this first grow and now I’ve got a good understanding of how plants develop I’ll definitely be trying lst for my other plant. I’ve decided against giving a larger amount of water and I’m going to continue watering how I’m watering now as she just seems to be loving what she’s getting and I don’t mind watering every other day. Very happy with the progress. Day 41: she continues to reach. I’ll feed her later on today. Very excited to see what next week brings. Happy growing! Day 42: she’s growing faster than I imagined possible. Loving the feeding routine she’s got and all is currently going well, excited to start the next week.

Today is day 57 for these Wedding Cheesecakes and they are looking great ! 2 of them decided to stretch out on me so had to tie one of them down even more an looks like she might be a little stressed out from it or might lacking something I’m not too sure if anybody can tell please let me know if anything I would really appreciate it ! Other then that we are going into week 8 and these ladies are putting off some delicious smells can’t wait to see what they do this week! Hope you all enjoy ! Keep them eyes peeled for next week!! ✌️Cheers
