Hoping that this week will not be a tennis match with my PH and my nutrient solution. Last week I saw my solution drop a full point in a matter of hours - consistently. I also ditched the PH up/down dosers crutch two grows ago, and I am not missing it as the intel is far better without them. IMO PH dosers do not give you real-time feeding feel from your plant - yet they adjust your PH to the "Perfect" level. Less is more in this craft, and in more ways than not. There is a balance between technology, automation, efficiency and most importantly - humans. If we removed the human element out of a grow, the product will be inferior, right? - trichome check showed mostly cloudy, with a few random amber if one looks hard enough. She’s ripening nice and reservoir running fairly normal for late flower. Wonder if that zero water filters-gone-bad caused my major PH crashes. Fed her KookBloom dry only this week and now in a 2 day flush. Should be about 10% amber.

La gorila glue con sus hojas llenas de resina, he cultivado 6 semillas antes de la misma variedad y puedo ver hasta el momento una cepa estable. Las big bud entraron en mayor observación dado a que dejaron de engordar dos. La Mack va como avión, a pesar de todo lo que se podo al entrar a floración estiró hasta igualar a la Gorila y llenando los brotes de cogollos

26/7/2019 Hi guys it's time to harvest in two weeks I think and hope not more I can cut let's say this beauty I can not wait I stopped the nutrients two days ago to prepare the pot to do the washes is all here So we hope not to cut the first of the due because I don't do it any more anyway ---------------------- 22/7. I'm noticing that it has a difference of other qualities that it doesn't seem to blame for the nourishment I am trying to increase .... I have to say that it has a very strong smell and the tops! they are very hard and full of glue!

This week the plant was bended, and accidentally i broke a branch ... But she recovered well, she selected the other branches to grow just like in 2 h nothing could be done, but as you can see she is concentrating the growth in the other colas, so the structure is bended against the pot and with 3 main branches at the moment... Another little problem appeared when, 2 days after using Green Explosion in a half dose, i raised the Top Veg to 2.5 ml/l but she reacted bad and some overfertilization spots are apperaing in the tips of the leaves, im uploading it when the next week is complete... But dont worry is not too much overdose, just a little, (Its like she said thats the limit at the moment ) so after this, next 2 irrigations are being done with plain water to flush the soil... Im not using Micro Vita, but i gotta get that magic microbes to avoid this messy things, they muffle all this changes in PH !!! So next week, transplanting to definitive text pot, bacterian life and until the end :) But everything is fine this plant is soo strong and nothing cant stop her at the moment :D Take care GD !!

Watching this plant grow has been really fun and taught me a lot about taking care of a plant and what to watch out for. Can't wait to see what i can do on my next grow already!

Week 7 of Veg for these beautiful ladies! It was a stressful week for the girls but they made it❤️ Day 44 I decided the girls had outgrown their 2 gallon nursery pots and were ready to move on. After a quick cleanup of the undercarriage, they were ready to go. I like to keep my soil in a Rubbermaid bin, either with a fan lightly blowing, or the exhaust line from my tent blowing at it. Since I started doing this, I have not had any gnats or pests in my grows, of course with regular cleanings and IPM… This time around, I decided to use some Dynomyco to increase the mycorrhiza count of my Promix HP. This will increase root development and allow for better uptake of nutrients overall. Within an hour or so all of the ladies were transplanted ❤️ 2 in 7 gallon fabric pots, and 1 in a 5 gallon fabric pot ( the 5 gallon will finish in my 2x4 tent) Once the girls bounce back and take hold of their new forever pot, I will be setting up my custom “floating” SCROG net and allowing them some time to get bent and tucked all nice snug before I flip to a flower schedule. Happy Gardening ❤️🇨🇦🌱😎

Last final defoliation done, now buds are fully exposed to the lights and the best part, harvest trim will be easier. Still it took me around 8 h altogether to defoliate all of them. Tones of buds and frost , amazing smells. Won't rush will give it a bit more to swell.

🌱 Week 4 - Black Diamond Auto - Plant A 8×8 Adventure | Learning What Nature Wants to Teach Another week has passed inside the 8×8 Adventure, and every day reinforces why this project is so exciting. Unlike traditional autoflower grows, every plant in this room was germinated directly under a 12/12 light schedule. There was never a long vegetative period waiting before flowering. Instead, each plant has had to build its entire structure while already living under flowering conditions. It is a technique that fascinates me because it reveals just how different every individual phenotype can be. Some decide to begin flowering almost immediately. Others invest precious time building roots and branches before finally committing to reproduction. That is exactly why every plant receives its own diary. This week belongs to Black Diamond Auto - Plant A. ⸻ 🌿 A Completely Different Personality While several sisters have already started showing obvious flowering characteristics, this lady had other plans. Instead of rushing toward bloom, she kept investing energy into building herself. The result is becoming obvious. She is developing into one of the strongest structural plants inside the room. Long internodes. Strong branches. Excellent vigor. Beautiful symmetry. She almost seems to be saying, “I’m not in a hurry… I’m building something worth waiting for.” Sometimes the slow starters end up becoming the biggest surprises. ⸻ 🌱 Why Growing Under 12/12 Is So Interesting One thing I always enjoy explaining is why this project exists in the first place. Most growers veg their plants for several weeks before switching lights to 12/12. Here, the challenge is completely different. The plants experience flowering light from the day they emerge. That means every single day matters. Every root developed… Every leaf produced… Every branch formed… …is competing against the plant’s internal biological clock. Watching each phenotype decide how it responds to that pressure is one of the most educational parts of this entire adventure. ⸻ 🌿 Gentle Training Instead of Force This week continued with very gentle Low Stress Training. Rather than forcing dramatic bends or aggressive shaping, I’m simply helping light reach every future flowering site. Leaf tucking. Soft branch positioning. Small adjustments every day. Sometimes even gently bending large fan leaves out of the way instead of removing them. At this stage every healthy leaf is still acting like a solar panel, producing energy for everything that comes next. The goal isn’t to force the plant into a shape. The goal is to guide her while allowing genetics to express themselves naturally. ⸻ 💧 A New Chapter Begins: AutoPot Time One of the biggest milestones this week is that Plant A has officially graduated into the AutoPot system. This is something I’ve been looking forward to throughout the entire grow. For anyone unfamiliar with AutoPots, they are a completely passive self-watering system. There are no pumps. No timers. No electricity controlling irrigation. Instead, everything revolves around one incredibly clever little device called the AquaValve. The AquaValve constantly monitors the water level inside the tray beneath the pot. As the plant drinks, the tray empties. Only then does the AquaValve automatically open, allowing fresh nutrient solution to refill the tray before closing again. This creates a natural wet-and-dry rhythm while giving the roots constant access to perfectly oxygenated nutrient solution whenever they need it. The plant decides when to drink. Not me. It’s a beautiful example of letting nature control the schedule. ⸻ 🔬 Why This Is Such A Fun Experiment Even more interesting… Plant A won’t be alone for long. The current plan is to compare her performance against another Black Diamond that may remain outside the AutoPot system. Same genetics. Same room. Same environment. Different irrigation method. It’s still early, so I won’t draw any conclusions yet, but this comparison could become one of the most educational parts of this entire project. Sometimes the best lessons come from simply letting the plants answer the questions for us. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment The room continues running very consistently. Environment • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 33°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 63% • ⚡ EC: 1.35 • pH: 6.1 • 💨 CO₂: 639 ppm • 💦 Solution Temperature: 26°C Even with the warmer daytime temperatures, the plants continue showing healthy metabolism and vigorous growth. ⸻ 🍽️ Feeding This Week Current nutrient program: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L The feeding remains intentionally balanced. No need to chase high EC values while the plant is still investing heavily into structural growth. Healthy roots first. Strong stems second. Flowers will come naturally. ⸻ 🌱 Looking Ahead By the end of the week, she’s finally beginning to show the first signs that flowering is approaching. Nothing explosive yet. Just those subtle little changes every grower loves spotting: slightly tighter node spacing… new vertical growth… the first hints that she’s preparing to transition. Considering the structure she’s already built, I have a feeling she could become one of the larger plants in this room. Only time will tell. And that’s half the fun. ⸻ 💚 Final Thoughts One of my favourite things about this hobby is that every plant writes its own story. We provide the environment. The nutrition. The light. The care. But ultimately, genetics decide how the story unfolds. Plant A is teaching patience. She’s showing that not every plant needs to sprint into flower to become something special. Sometimes building a strong foundation is the smartest strategy of all. I’m excited to see what she becomes over the next few weeks. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You As always, thank you to everyone following this journey. To GrowDiaries for giving growers around the world a place to document and learn together. To Plagron for providing the nutrition that keeps these ladies thriving. To FOG LEDs for delivering the photons that fuel every new leaf. To Zamnesia and the talented breeders behind these wonderful genetics. To every grower who leaves a comment, shares advice, asks questions, celebrates the victories, or learns from the mistakes. To the silent readers following along from around the world. To the supporters. To the critics. To the old friends. To the new ones joining every week. Thank you for being part of this adventure. Growers Love and see you all next week. 🌱💚

Einen schönen Sonntag mal wieder & frohes Neues 😊 🌿 Wochenupdate Es läuft alles in allem weiterhin stabil =) Ich tracke und erhalte nach wie vor die Nährstofflösung. Mir ist lediglich ein kleiner Interpretationsfehler unterlaufen… Notorious hat erste Anzeichen von Salzstress durch einen konstant zu hohen EC gezeigt. Kein starkes Schadbild und ziemlich sicher nichts, was den Run oder ihre Entwicklung gefährden würde zum Glück =D Trotzdem hat es mich zu dem Zeitpunkt ehrlich gesagt ziemlich abgefuckt 😅 Ich hätte hier deutlich intensiver hinschauen sollen. Da sie von ihrer Blattstruktur her generell eher hart bzw. rau ist, ist mir der Fehler erst relativ spät aufgefallen, jetzt zeigt sie bereits leichte lokale Verbrennungen. Sonst sind keine klassischen Mängelbilder vorhanden, keine Root-Probleme und keine pH-Ausreißer. Die anderen Ladies performen im selben Reservoir völlig unauffällig 😊 Ich gehe davon aus, hier einen EC-empfindlichen Phäno erwischt zu haben. Natürlich habe ich mich direkt nach dem ausgiebigen Ärgern daran gemacht, die Nährstofflösung etwas zu entspannen =D.. Ich bin jetzt runter auf 1.800 EC und beobachte zunächst ein paar Zyklen des Uptake-Patterns. Danach entscheide ich, wie es weitergeht 😊 🌸 Pflanzenstatus & Training Blueberry Cupcake Frostet fleißig weiter ❄️ Ich finde, sie sieht einfach traumhaft aus 😄 Ihr Geruch hat sich nochmal deutlich intensiviert und geht jetzt klar in Richtung beerig, der Joghurt Teil ist verschwunden =D Bin wirklich gespannt, was da noch kommt und wie sie sich weiterentwickelt 🔥 Purpz ist Aktuell für mich ganz klar der Eyecatcher im Zelt =) Top Frost, sehr schöne homogene Sites und ich meine bereits leichte Anthocyan-Einlagerungen erkennen zu können 😍 Der Geruch geht inzwischen eher in Richtung Diesel, mit einem leicht fruchtigen Abgang 🍋 Schwer zu greifen, aber extrem spannend 😄 Notorious THC Entwickelt sich ebenfalls gut 😊 Abgesehen von den lokalen Burns macht sie insgesamt einen guten Eindruck. Der kushige, eher dumpfe Geruch hat sich manifestiert, allerdings muss man bei ihr schon etwas näher rangehen =) Vom Frost zieht sie gut nach ❄️ Vom Aufbau her habe ich generell den Eindruck, dass sie etwas später dran ist. Dafür sehe ich aber klar das Potenzial auf richtig schöne Buds, die Ansätze sehen sehr vielversprechend aus =D Guzzlerz Hat auch echt gut aufgeholt, bin ehrlich gesagt überrascht 😄 Optisch immer noch etwas zart, das hat sie noch nicht ganz abgelegt, aber von der Entwicklung her würde ich sagen mittlerweile auf Augenhöhe mit NTHC 👍 Bei ihr meine ich einen leichten bläulichen Schimmer in der jungen Blüte erkennen zu können, für mich bleibt es auch hier absolut spannend =D Geruchs review gibt's hier beim nächsten update. ⚙️ System Top-Ups erhalten weiterhin die Lösung 🔧😊 VPD: 1,35 kPa CO₂: 700–800 ppm im Durchschnitt EC: 1.800–1.850 µS/cm PPFD: 1.000 Vielen Dank fürs Lesen und Mitfiebern 😊 Ich wünsche euch allen eine schöne Woche 🌱

day 42 images are in last week, I can not count XD. bridal is stacking a lot of weight and is constantly shifting/leaning every morning, good things. I would chop any day but I will wait it out. water, tiny bit of humic and folvic to reduce chloromine, chlorine- air stones day 45 took a few nugs off on day 42, dried for 3 days. Tried bridal and blackberry. As a heavy recreational, thc is up there! bridal felt like having a blindfold over your eyes somewhat sativa uplift but heavy weight feelings. Very good. Lasted as good as 30%'s. Dr. Thunder was also very nice, nug was smaller so mixed with blackberry to have a small j. Also feels very good indica. Both trials were chopped on week 6 day 1. Very pleased with the results. I was worried bridal was more sativa; which charasteristica I am not looking for. So I believe this is a very good heavy hitter run with 4 plants. I can chop any day, but I am waiting for pink paradise to finish seeds. day45 took top nugs from bridal party, blackberry oreo bigstuff and dr. thunder. No touching pink paradise!! day 46 can chop anytime just waiting on pink paradise seeds to finish, bridal party leaning more day 47 bridal leaning hard from weight. day 48 stacking, day 48 video
