Giorno 58 Purtroppo ho ancora problemi coi fertilizzanti(ogni volta non mi scende acqua da sotto al vaso e spesso si creano accumuli). Prossimo giro farò ancora 6 piante coi fertilizzanti e 3 con super soil Dogma!!! Ricordati sempre di pensare prima di tutto al seme che metterai in terra. Cerca la banca semi che ha i cloni ufficiali in casa della genetica a cui sei interessato e non fare la prima cosa che trovi al negozietto sotto casa!!! A settimana prossima. Grazie dei commenti e like ❤️👊

Straw-Lectric Lemonade-STRNG Seed W10 F1 01/11-17 These strawberry collection gals are taking off like rockets during this early stretch. Cadillac1 and S. Trop Cherry 2 have grown at least 15 inches this week. I cannot push them to the edge anymore. Pics show them pressed up against the light. What to do? My hubby suggested cutting them off-you should have seen the look I gave him. I decided to do more super cropping of the tallest branches. These girls were 56 and 57 inches from the soil to their tops. As tall as me but an additional 15inches due to the pot. I tried to bend the stem by about 10inches, so the tops are about the same as the other plants in the tent. Fingers crossed they slow down. Since the dots did not arrive before the transplant, I decided to use TPS1 and start during the first week of flower. That’s now. The mix for early bloom is as follows: TPS1 14ml/g Silica Gold 3ml/g I needed to add 3ml/g of Calmag to raise the pH after accidentally lowering it too much. 1/10 66.5F, 6.22 ph & 1023 ppm 1/14 70.3F, 6.42 ph & 1007 ppm Pics 1/11 !st flower week defoliation and lollipop for all the Strawberry collection. 1/16 More super cropping of Cadillac1 and 1st time Trop Cherry2. General observations: I usually use Air pots but these can be messy when water squirts out the side holes. I decided to use the 5Gal fabric pots AC Infinity provided when I got the tent. The fabric pots hold moisture longer than the air pots and since I have to water with at least a gallon, the humidity increases to 85%. This is way out of range for early bloom. Also, the ventilation fan increases to 10 which is very loud and only helps a small bit. I noticed that after defoliation the RH came down to the upper 60%. Not optimal but better. I should have defoliated in week 3 of veg to reduce the humidity in early flower. The only time my environment is optimal is when it’s close to the next watering day. Then it goes right back up after watering. It has been very cold here and the tent temperature barely gets above 73f. Increasing the tent temperature would help the VPD. When the plants were touching the lights, I held the lights at 80%. I just increased to 100%. 1/16 Strawberry Cadillac #1 56 before super crop 46”after #2 44“ Strawberry Trop Cherry #1 28” #2 57” before 47” after Straw-Lectric Lemonade #1 38” #2 45” Important dates 11/9 Germination 11/25 Transplant to 1.5 gal, 12/1 Topped, Pinned and removed 2 large center leaves 12/5 Repositioned pins and removed lowest fan leaves 12/16 Topped 4 tops on each plant except Cadillac1 (first topping) and put manuka honey on the cut. 12/24 Transplant to 5 gal 12/27 Defoliate all 12/28 Flip to 12/12 1/05 Supercrop Cadillac #1 at the joint where I topped her. 1/11 !st flower week defoliation and lollipop for all the Strawberry collection. 1/16 More super cropping of Cadillac1 and 1st time Trop Cherry2. Stay green, growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

She's almost done. Starting to see cloudy so I'm just continuing to water. Started the water only last week so things should start to fade out alil more now. .. Definitely learned alot for next time I run this strain. Gonna be fun to redo. See how this week goes tho, not the biggest plant but for the minimum amount of inputs she's done well. But till the next update. Hope ur all doin well ,best of luck !!

week intel: we reached the peak of flowering stage and need to cause a little more e.c stress from this week so e.c stress is twice a week i reduced the amount of Nitrogen and calcium and stopped feeding silicate in other hand i raised the amount of base nutrient and booster short story version: more K & P - less N stresses : a little E.C stress around 1 and 1.2 twice a week from this week feeding: i feed them 3 times this week with this order : day 1 : i feed them high with base nutrients(calcium & micros (half dose) + Bloom) about 566 ppm - 1.1 e.c to cause a little stress. day 3 : i feed them low dose of Top-Max + B-52 around 392 ppm - 0.7 e.c to let them recover a little but not fully recover still a little stress will caused. day 5 : i feed them high dose of Feeding Booster around 630 ppm - 1.2 e.c to cause e.c stress again guide of the week : e.c stress if done correctly is one of the very few ways to increase quality in all aspects ( color , aroma , taste , bud structure , resin contents ) but if you over do it , listen carefully brother : it can reduce quality in every aspect so always look for signs and never reach the red line

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 8 | She's Everywhere Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! And this week, I have to admit something... I have absolutely no idea where this girl is going. And I love it. 😂💚 Black Diamond Pheno A has officially reached the point where I stop trying to predict what she's going to become and simply enjoy watching her do it. Every week I think I've figured out her structure. Then she does something else. This week? She's building main-cola-sized flowers everywhere. Not just one dominant central cola. Not a huge top surrounded by little side flowers. I'm talking about substantial flowering structures developing all the way down the plant, with some of the lower flowers already starting to resemble little baseballs. And the craziest part? There is almost no popcorn. She's simply turning branch after branch into proper flowering sites. This Black Diamond is something special. 🌱 The 12/12 From Seed Adventure For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. Every plant in this project is being grown under a 12 hours on / 12 hours off light schedule from seed. There is no traditional vegetative period. No extended growth phase. No special treatment for individual phenotypes. Every plant receives the same environment, the same lighting strategy, the same feeding philosophy and the same general care. The genetics are the variable. And that's exactly what makes this experiment so fascinating. When twelve plants are given essentially the same conditions and one of them decides to become a completely different creature... that's the phenotype talking. And Black Diamond Pheno A certainly has something to say. 💎 She's Building Colas Everywhere Last week I described this plant as tall, elegant and balanced. This week? I'm starting to think "balanced" isn't quite enough anymore. At 169 cm, she has developed an incredible vertical structure with flowering sites distributed throughout the plant. But what really catches my attention is the consistency of flower development. Normally, when looking at a plant this size, you expect the hierarchy to be obvious: One main cola. A few strong secondary branches. Then progressively smaller flowers as you move down the plant. Black Diamond Pheno A seems to have decided that hierarchy is optional. Her central cola is still the largest and most obvious flower. Of course it is. But the secondary branches are not behaving like secondary flowers anymore. They're becoming colas in their own right. And even further down the plant, I'm seeing flowers developing with enough volume that calling them "lower buds" almost feels unfair. They're becoming little towers. Some are already approaching baseball-sized proportions. And there is remarkably little popcorn hiding underneath. That is what has me so excited. 🍃 Still Untouched Perhaps the most interesting part of this whole story is what hasn't happened. I haven't topped her. I haven't HST'd her. I haven't performed aggressive defoliation. I haven't stripped the interior. I haven't tried to force her into a particular shape. The only intervention has been the occasional leaf tuck when a large fan leaf was blocking a developing flower. That's it. And now I'm looking at this plant thinking... Maybe she never needed me to shape her in the first place. 😂 This is one of those grows that reminds you that sometimes genetics already have a plan. Our job isn't always to create the structure. Sometimes it's simply to provide the environment and get out of the way. ☀️ She's Eating Every Photon She Can Find And this girl certainly isn't wasting the light. Top canopy? She's using it. Inner canopy? She's using it. Lower canopy? Apparently she wants that too. And now that the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting has joined the party, I'm extremely curious to see how far this phenotype can push flower development throughout the entire vertical structure. The whole idea behind the under-canopy lighting was to give those normally shaded areas access to additional usable light. And Black Diamond Pheno A seems to have plenty of flowering real estate available to take advantage of it. She's capturing photons from above. She's capturing photons from between the branches. She's capturing photons from underneath. At this point I'm almost convinced she's going around the room looking for the last photon that hasn't been claimed yet. 😂💚 💡 Lumiflora Under-Canopy Lighting This is now becoming a particularly interesting part of the experiment. The top of the plant is obviously receiving plenty of light from the main fixtures. But look at the structure of this girl. There are flowers developing everywhere. That makes light distribution throughout the canopy increasingly important. The under-canopy lighting isn't intended to replace the primary fixtures. It's simply another layer of light reaching areas that would naturally receive less. And this is exactly the kind of plant where I want to observe the result. Will the lower flowers continue developing with impressive density? Will the middle of the plant continue filling out? Will the overall flower distribution become more uniform? We're going to find out. I'm not expecting miracles. I'm expecting observation. And that's one of the reasons this project is so much fun. 🌸 Flower Development Is Getting Serious The difference from last week is becoming very obvious. The flowers are no longer simply forming. They're building structure. Calyxes are stacking. Pistils are filling the flowers. Sugar leaves are becoming increasingly covered in visible resin. And the individual flowers are beginning to gain the shape and volume that tells you the real bulking phase is approaching. The central cola is beautiful. But honestly? I'm almost more interested in everything around it. Because when you look down the branches, you keep finding another flower. And another. And another. There is no obvious point where the plant suddenly says: "Okay, that's enough. Everything below this is popcorn." Instead, she just keeps producing. Cola after cola after cola. ❄️ The Frost Is Coming Along for the Ride Another thing becoming increasingly obvious in this week's photographs is the resin coverage. The sugar leaves are carrying a beautiful layer of visible trichomes, and the flowers themselves are becoming increasingly frosty. The close-up photographs really show it. We're still not at the final destination. There's plenty of flower maturation and swelling ahead. But Black Diamond is already giving us a preview of what she's capable of. And I have a feeling that once the flowers really start packing on weight, the visual difference could become spectacular. 💧 Feeding This Week The feeding program continues to support the increasingly demanding flowering phase. This week's recorded recipe: Plagron Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Plagron pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L Plagron Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L The nutrient solution is being maintained around pH 6.0, with the recorded EC/TDS reading at approximately 2.0 mS/cm. Watering volume is currently around 1.3 L per plant per 24 hours. And the plant is responding beautifully. No obvious signs of nutritional stress. No dramatic deficiencies. No major environmental complaints. Just growth. Flower production. And more flower production. 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The environment remains stable and consistent, which is exactly what I want during this stage. Current conditions: 🌸 Flowering: Week 8 📏 Height: 169 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 🌱 Substrate temperature: 21°C 💧 Nutrient solution temperature: 21°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm 💦 Watering: ~1.3 L/plant/24h The goal remains simple: Keep the environment stable and let the plant perform. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs might be some of my favourites of this phenotype so far. The full-plant images show just how impressive her structure has become. The close-ups tell an even better story. Everywhere you look there is another flowering site. The central cola is developing beautifully, but then you move your eyes down the plant and suddenly discover another substantial flower. And another. And another. Some of those lower flowers are already surprisingly large. The sugar leaves are carrying a beautiful layer of frost. The pistils are still predominantly fresh and white, telling us that there is plenty of development still ahead. And the most remarkable thing? This plant still hasn't been defoliated. She's lush. She's green. She's full. She's flowering everywhere. And somehow she's making it work. 🔮 Looking Ahead This is officially the part of the grow where I'm going to stop making predictions. 😂 Because every time I think I know what Black Diamond Pheno A is going to do... She proves me wrong. What I can say is that the next weeks should be fascinating. The flowers should continue swelling. The calyxes should become more pronounced. Resin production should increase. And those numerous secondary flowering structures have the potential to become some seriously impressive flowers. I'm particularly interested in watching those lower and inner flowers. Because if they continue developing at anything close to the rate we're seeing now... this plant could become an absolute monster from top to bottom. And that's without me forcing her to do it. 💎 Let Her Shine This phenotype has taught me something throughout this run. Sometimes you don't need to push a plant. You don't need to manipulate every branch. You don't need to remove every leaf. You don't need to create the structure yourself. Sometimes... you just need to give the genetics the opportunity to show you what they can do. Black Diamond Pheno A has been given that opportunity. And she's taking it. She's capturing light from the top. She's using the inner canopy. She's reaching into the lower canopy. She's taking advantage of the under-canopy lighting. She's building flowers everywhere. She's filling spaces where I expected to find popcorn. And she's doing all of this while simply being allowed to grow. At this point, I'm not trying to tell her what she should become. I'm just watching. I'm learning. And I'm enjoying the show. Because honestly... I have no idea where this girl is going. But wherever she's going... I absolutely love the direction. 💎🌱 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure. Thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a place where growers can document, compare, learn and inspire one another. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Black Diamond genetics that gave us this fascinating phenotype to follow. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the plants throughout the run. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for providing the main lighting driving this project. Thank you to Lumiflora for joining the adventure and giving us the opportunity to explore what additional under-canopy lighting can contribute to a plant with this kind of structure. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain the stable environment behind the scenes. And finally, thank you to everyone reading, commenting, asking questions and following these plants week after week. Every phenotype in the 8×8 Adventure has its own personality. But Black Diamond Pheno A? She's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. She's not making one main cola. She's making a whole collection of them. And I can't wait to see what happens next. Growers Love. 💚🌱💎

Nice growth after 4 days following a heavy defoliation. The Slurricane is overall smaller that the Bruce Banners they sit beside, but the nodal spacing is amazing and the branches all have ample access to the lights. The stems when crushed smell very heavily of lemon. This is a common trait with GreenMachine's grow of this strain, and he says his pheno like this turned out to be very fruity in flavor. The 60 day countdown is on, this should be a frosty grow

Grow Diary – The Great Migration 🌱 After a journey longer than a seedling’s first root, the ladies have finally moved into their forever homes. Yes, the final pots. The promised land. The retirement villa. That said… they’re currently still sitting in a cozy little buffer zone of light mix. Why? Because the Brotanics living soil underneath is thicc and I’m not trying to traumatize them with nutrients like it’s boot camp. We ease into things around here. Gentle introductions. Slow handshakes. Roots will eventually venture down into the living soil buffet when they feel brave enough. Until then, no pressure. To keep stress levels low and vibes high, the whole setup is now running on full automatic watering. Living soil stays mostly moist, plants stay mostly happy, and I stay mostly hands-off pretending this was the plan all along. Now we wait, watch, and hope for the best

So this is the Tear Down week. The timing of it makes it so i will need to the harvest flag in a few days when I can weight and test the plants. I have included the Cleaning, and Cutting and some Root Porn. I will make the harvest post in about 4-5 days, when I can trim these plants. There is a lot of Plant here. I got way more than I was expecting. I don't have a scale that measure this amount of plant, without taking like 10 measurements and then adding them together. So I will just be posting the dry weight. I will post the wet weight as dry weight * 1.65. Autopots: Wow, what a great product. I have been blown away by how well and how easy it was to work with them. They really did solve the watering issues. Excellent product. If you are a beginner, start with Autopots. -= Lessons Learnt =- - Overdrive the air to your Autopots. In my control plant, I used a small rectangle air stone (instead of a standard air dome). This lead to root rot and some other issues, it also put significantly less air into the water. The root rot, give the material for the Brown Algae to grow. Using a huge Air-disc-Air-Stone would be an excellent combo to mix in with the air dome itself. Something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Pawfly-Diffuser-Suction-Hydroponics-Aquarium/dp/B01MY3AQ33 at the bottom and the air-dome on top of it, will be what I do with my next experiment. - Air stone in the reservoir. I had two instances where algae grew into the res. An air stone would have helped. It would have also helped my control plant get less root rot. Given the amount that the air-domes and air sources got engulfed, having the water have more o2 in it would have only been beneficial. - Don't grow 6 plants in a 4x4. Since my control plant was about 1/8th the size of the others, I think I could have grown 5 in the shape of a 5 (on a 6 sided dice)⚄ This placement would give a much more spaced canopy for airflow and more importantly light. The sides of some of the plants were lighter green and produced larf due to lack of light penetration. - This tent was on 19-5 schedule. This worked out very well for this strain. After every lights on, they were in the praying position, so this strain was able to recover in that 5hrs off. If I had more seeds, I would run these again, and try 20-4. I think this strain could handle it. All for all, I think I'm going to 19-5 as my default timing. This kept up a solid DLI. - Staring at .9EC (really .7 EC cause my water here is .2 EC) Then bumping up at .1 a week, until 1.6EC worked out VERY well. I experimented on this crop all the way up to 1.9EC, which burnt the tips of this plant. I think if I did this strain again, I would do 1.6EC until 3-4 weeks left then crank it to 1.9. It did plump them up when I went to 1.9, however it left them looking rough. Bulk was added though. - Sticking to 6.0PH for all of veg, and 2 weeks into flower worked great. The plant had solid and consistent color and leaf shape . The plant's did get hurt, due to some issues (as noted on the weeks). I switched to 6.5 PH in the last 3-4 weeks and it helped them recover, and plump up noticeably. -VPD. The #1 thing I focused on was VPD. I keep it .9kpa range, as best as humanly possible. It was honestly, HUGELY noticeable compared to my other grows. I know truly understand the value of properly dialed in VPD. This is the one lesson that will stick with me forever. - Super-cropping: On the plants I give the chiropractic treatment too, had much thicker stems as much larger channel internally. I did this treatment to 4 of the 6, and the 4 that had it done has larger buds and recovered from defoliation faster. TLDR; VPD is king. Super-cropping is worth the time. Keeping PH and EC dialed in were all wins. Autopots kick ass.
