Week 9 over This week the stretching totally came to an end so we can say she has officially entered her bulking phase. The buds are stacking up nicely and her drinking has increased a bit. I’m going in for a light defoliation and lollipoping to increase air circulation and redirect light where it will be needed the most. She smells delightful, some of the hairs are changing color but it’s a sign of maturity not ripening She still has some weeks to go⏱️ Week 10 here we come 👊🏾 Happy growing guys 💚

Todo viene muy bien, aplicamos LST a todas las plantas, exceptuando a 1 que no se que le pasa, presenta manchas en sus hojas y va mutando las manchas a todos los nuevos brotes. A la hora de hacer LST, a 1 de las plantas se le arranco una hoja y en otra de los plantas el tallo se quebró muy apenas, esperemos que no las estresen demasiado.

First week of Flowering!! the Scrogline pro's are filling up nicely and we hope is will develop an nice canopy with big sticky buds no changes in the nutrients yet but soon we will start adding Epic Bloom Stay safe and stay healthy Cheers, Nibameca

~ AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System sponsored by GrowAce, featuring Tropicana Cookies by FastBuds ~ Well guy's and gal's here we go again on another exciting Autoflower run together! This time will be different as I will be doing a 'Hydroponic' run utilizing the AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System by GrowAce, who were kind enough to sponsor me for this run, so it should be interesting to see what results I get and have some fun along the way! •Let me first tell you about this 6 Pot Ebb/Flow system from GrowAce: "The AirCube system is the one and only Ebb & Flow grow system on the market that combines the benefits of air pruning with a fully automated Ebb+Flow system! With the AirCube's proprietary fabric pot in bucket design, this system is guaranteed to outgrow any other Ebb + Flow system on the market. The results speak for themselves- grow MASSIVE roots that result in MASSIVE fruits! Air Pruning- Air Pruning only happens with fabric pots. As the roots reach the fabric walls of the pot, they penetrate and grow into the breathable fabric. Once penetrated, the roots are exposed to air, which causes the tips of the root to dehydrate and naturally prune themselves. This natural pruning process forces the roots to grow tons of lateral fibrous feeder roots. This results in a plant that utilizes the entire root zone and fills the entire pot with tons of roots. These fibrous feeder roots are incredibly effective in uptaking water and nutrients, resulting in a plant that grows healthier and more vigorously! Oxygen Benefits- Without oxygen, nutrient absorption cannot occur. On a molecular level, oxygen is needed to transmit nutrients across the cell walls and into the roots of a plant. With the AirCube's proprietary bottom lifted draining design, the system actively draws all of the water out of the bucket pulls vital oxygen into the root zone. Maximum Versatility with Any Grow Medium: The AirCube System is the only system on the market that allows you to use any growing medium you like. Use coco coir, soil, peat moss, perlite, vermiculite, hydroton, rockwool or any other medium you wish! This system is the most versatile Ebb and Flow bucket system in today's hydroponics industry. Temperature Control- with the fabric pots constructed with highly porous polypropylene fabric, heat dissipates easily and effectively. Unlike standard plastic pots, heat isn't trapped in the root zone. Heat in standard plastic containers can reach temperatures of up to 125 degrees. When this type of heat is trapped and unable to escape, it can damage your plant's health and limit the potential of your harvest. Growing in the AirCube System, plant roots grow cooler, healthier, and more vigorous. Largest Pots in its Class- this system features 5 Gallon grow buckets, the largest pot size of any other ebb and flow hydroponic system in the market. Modular and Expandable- start with 6 grow buckets and expand up to 36 grow buckets with the optional 105 gallons PopTank reservoir!" For my medium and nutrients I decided to also switch things up from my regular Organic runs, going with Plagron Nutrients and Root Royale 70/30 Coco/Perlite. When filling the fabric pots with medium, I first added just under a gallon of horticulture perlite from Nor-Cal as a base layer to ensure good drainage and then filled the remainder with the Root Royale. •Now for the outstanding, award winning strain from my friends at FastBuds... Tropicana Cookies Auto: I'll be running Tropicana Cookies Autoflower which is a 60/40 Indica/Sativa Hybrid. "Tropicana Cookies Auto is the perfect variety for growers of all levels, especially beginners as this strain performs very well outdoors and indoors, and can produce up to 500 gr/m2 in 56-63 days without needing extra maintenance. Reaching up to 110 cm, this strain grows fairly tall with medium-sized branching, showing its mixed heritage. Definitely the right choice for those with a high tolerance looking to get their hands on the strongest autoflowers out there. You can expect an extremely powerful and long-lasting high that’ll boost your mood and give you that extra push you need to start your days on the right foot. This variety offers the whole range of citrus and woody flavors with a strong candy-sweet background that will keep you coming back for more and more."* *References: GrowAce.com, 2fast4buds.com ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: • AC Infinity 4x4 tent •AC Infinity Cloudline T6 Exhaust Fan w/ Controller 67 •HLG 650R w/UVA Bar *** For some reason GD does NOT have a listing for the USA version of the 650R so I selected the closest match to it. •AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow 6 pot System •DL Wholesale Root Royale Coco Lite 70/30 coco/perlite •TrolMaster Hydro-X Controller for light •AutoPilot APC8200 co2 controller fed by a 50# tank •16" Hurricane oscillating fan and 8" floor fan •Tent cooling via filtered outside air delivered by AC Infinity Cloudline T6 fan •BlueLab instruments: PH Pen and Truncheon Nutrient Meter ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 11/26- My oh my! Week 5 of flower's here and these ladies are looking sexy as hell!🔥🤪 11/28- All three Tropicana Cookies are getting to the point that it's time to begin flushing them. My dilemma is that, with six pots in the closed loop system and three of them occupied by a different strain that is 10+ days behind the Tropicana Cookies, I can't run straight water through the system to flush without negatively affecting the other strain that is right in the middle of flower. My solution that I've come up with is to pull the Tropicana Cookies from the AirCubes and put them on drip trays so that I can flush them without affecting the flowering of the three plants from the other strain. *Note to self: When starting a run with this system, MAKE SURE ALL six plants break ground together! Also growing a single strain would be way better than mixing strains with this system as you can only give one strength of nutrients regardless of what each particular plant needs for optimum growth. 11/30- Today was the LAST day that these ladies have to sit in the AirCubes. This evening, right after 'lights on', I pulled all three plants from the AirCubes and placed them on plastic drip trays that hold a little over 2L. When I pulled them the first thing I noticed (besides the odor) was the amount of roots that were growing outside of the fabric pot (I thought they were supposed to 'air prune' the roots) and the copious brown slime coating the inside of the bucket and the bottom of the fabric pot...smh. So, from here on out I'll be manually flushing all three with 2L each of straight well water that has a 150ppm base, to which I add 1/64th teaspoon of NPK Yucca Extract, then I ph it to 6.0 @ 68℉. After flushing, I wait around 15min, then I use a wet vac to remove the runoff from the drip tray. 12/2- I'm continuing to flush all three at an interval of 3 times daily with 2L of water and they all are doing fantastic! The #3 is starting to fade, and the pistils on both the #1 and #2 are turning color from snow white to a darker tan or red, and I anticipate their fade to begin sometime soon. Well Fam, there's five weeks of flower on the books and these ladies are just about ready to finish up! See you next week for what could be the finish for the FastBuds Tropicana Cookies! 😎🙏💖 💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Grow what you love, Love what you grow!💚

Second week of flushing. Took accurate measurements today. Tallest blueberry headband over 50 inches tall! The rest are coming in around 3 feet. Took microscopic photos of the tricomes today. Some appear to be milky, while others seem to be transitioning to amber while some are still clear and transitioning to milky. Thoughts?

sound week on the soil. this grow is really lovely. starting to see some promising bud sites. I think i might trim too much but i want the buds to get the light. the Pineapple Kush is sadly a bonsai in all of this lol. you will see it in the video. will just let it grow.

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A | Week 1 Flower | A Diamond Beginning to Shine Every grow has one plant that naturally draws your attention, not because it’s demanding, but because it quietly keeps outperforming expectations. Black Diamond Auto Pheno A is quickly becoming one of those plants. From the very beginning, she has shown remarkable vigor, stretching confidently while maintaining excellent health, strong branching, and beautiful symmetry. Now, as she officially enters her first flowering week, she’s proving exactly why documenting individual phenotypes is so rewarding. Although every plant in this project shares the same environment, feeding program, lighting, and training philosophy, every seed expresses its genetics differently. Black Diamond A has chosen height, elegance, and relentless vertical growth, creating what is already becoming one of the tallest structures inside the tent. This grow continues using my favourite challenge: 12/12 From Seed. Rather than extending the vegetative stage, every plant is flowered from the day it emerges, allowing each phenotype to naturally reveal its own strategy for growth, stretch, and flower production. It creates a unique opportunity to compare genetics while maximizing efficiency inside the grow room. ⸻ 🌱 Environment Just like the rest of the flowering room, Black Diamond A has enjoyed another week of remarkably stable environmental conditions. 🌡️ Day Temperature: 31.1°C 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative Humidity: 72% 🥤 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 21.6°C ? Root Zone Temperature: 21°C ☀️ Light Schedule: 12/12 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm Rather than chasing perfect numbers every day, I focus on creating consistency. Stable root temperatures, balanced humidity, continuous airflow, and healthy root-zone oxygenation allow each plant to dedicate its energy toward growth instead of constantly adapting to environmental fluctuations. ⸻ 🌿 Training & Canopy Management Training remains intentionally simple. Throughout the week I’ve continued using gentle Low Stress Training while regularly tucking large fan leaves behind developing flowering sites whenever needed. No defoliation has been performed so far. The goal isn’t removing leaves—it’s allowing them to continue acting as efficient solar panels while simply repositioning them to improve light penetration and airflow. As new flowering sites develop, small adjustments are all that’s needed to expose each future cola without unnecessarily reducing the plant’s photosynthetic capacity. With such vigorous vertical growth, this approach is producing an open canopy while preserving every bit of energy available for flower production. Sometimes patience is the best training technique. ⸻ 🌾 Feeding Program As Black Diamond transitions fully into flowering, her feeding schedule continues to bridge vegetative growth and bloom development. Current feeding includes: • Plagron Terra Grow — maintaining enough nitrogen to support the final stretch. • Plagron Terra Bloom — increasing phosphorus and potassium availability as flower production accelerates. • Plagron Power Roots — keeping the root system active and healthy throughout the transition. • Plagron Sugar Royal — supporting terpene development from the earliest stages of flowering. • Plagron Pure Zym — improving nutrient uptake by recycling old organic material around the root zone. • Plagron Power Buds — encouraging the hormonal transition into full flower while maximizing bud site initiation. This balanced nutrition allows the plant to continue stretching strongly while simultaneously investing energy into building the foundation for the weeks ahead. ⸻ 💎 Phenotype Spotlight Black Diamond Pheno A has become one of the true standouts inside the room. Standing at approximately 100 cm, she is among the tallest plants currently growing under this project, displaying a graceful structure with long internodal spacing and exceptionally vigorous vertical development. The flowering transition is now well underway. Fresh white pistils are emerging across every branch, and bud sites are beginning to stack from the lower nodes all the way to the main apex. Rather than producing isolated flowers, she’s already showing excellent distribution across the entire plant, promising multiple productive colas instead of relying solely on the main top. What impresses me most is how effortlessly she carries her size. Even with her height, the branches remain well balanced, the stem is thick and healthy, and the overall structure feels surprisingly stable. She has responded beautifully to gentle LST, opening the canopy naturally without ever looking stressed. There is still plenty of stretch left, but the focus is clearly beginning to shift. Every day more pistils appear, every node becomes more defined, and the framework for what could become a very productive harvest is steadily taking shape. Sometimes a plant doesn’t demand attention—it simply earns it. ⸻ 🔭 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect Black Diamond A to continue stretching while the early flower clusters begin merging into recognizable bud formations. Leaf tucking will remain the primary form of canopy management, helping maintain even light distribution without removing healthy foliage. Nutritionally, the transition toward a full flowering program will continue as her appetite increases and flower production accelerates. If she maintains this pace, there’s every reason to believe she’ll remain one of the dominant plants in the room throughout the remainder of the cycle. The structure is there. The health is there. Now it’s time to watch those flowers begin to fill every branch. ⸻ A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for providing the genetics that make projects like this possible, and to Plagron for supplying the outstanding nutrient line that continues supporting these plants through every stage of development. Finally, thank you to the incredible GrowDiaries community for following this journey week after week. Your comments, questions, encouragement, and shared passion for growing are what make documenting every phenotype such a rewarding experience. I hope these individual journals help demonstrate just how unique each plant can be—even when they’re raised side by side under exactly the same conditions. Until next week… Growers love and happy Growing! 🌱💚

The girls are starting to wrap up their cycle. I have been watching the trichomes closely, and we are getting very close

Outdoors........time passes slowly.... Tropical weather here, this week. Hot morning, evening storms , cooler nights, high humidity, wind. What else? No problems to report, fantastic grow, girls full of life. Lots of work to bend and rearrange plant's shape every day, sometimes twice a day. Defoliation. Plant is responding fantastically. Pineapple Kush is a monster, she has almost 20 big branches, every single branch is big as an indoor plant. I've growth 30 strains in my life but I never seen a plant with a such LTS attitude. You bend her, she responds quickly, you bend her again? She responds faster. Little bit late on flowering.

Odore spettacolare di caramelle, a seccare da 3 giorni, non vedo l'ora.

Solo una parola..... CARINISSIMA!!!! almeno a me piace!

All of the dosidos’ ended up dying. Hope it was a case of weak genetics and not my incompetence because the northern lights seems to be completely okay, and we’re about 2 and a half weeks in now. Next node is coming in and the plant is really kicking into fast growth now around 4~5th May.

Loving the frosty look of this canopy, there's buds everywhere. I think she may have been over trained though. I've thinned out a few tops that were never going to come to anything and this weeks pics are the results. I can see at least 20 tops on this beast. Some real nice development going on!

Week 2 of flower 12-5 She is growing nicely. She got a good dose of microbes yesterday. 2k ml she got cal/mag 5ml per gal, Drops 1ml, dusting of yucca, Kelp 1/16th tsp, EM 1 1 ounce per gallon and 1/2 tsp recharge. Top dress is soon. She will only get water x2 waterings. Cheesecake pictures tomorrow. I think I even may have, underwatered Cheese HAHAHAHA No way! Me ..... Underwater.... Thats a first! Now I have it marked. LOL 😬 J/s EM1 is kinda lol Icky. And the bottle almost exploded on me 😂 Good stuff. 12-7 Good ol plain water ph 6.2 Watered around 2.5 liters took it well. Roots are coming out the bottoms of both bags. 💪 Almost looks like worms 🤣 I must be doin ok, I haven't had them jump out before. 💪 And on both. Not the other 2 🤣 yet? The buds on 3x are tiny. They need top dressed, but i dont think thats it. May be a slow budder?? Idk, we shall see. But I do see signs of hunger. Top dress next water 💪 Removed all leafs pointing in. Or most at least. Very happy with progress. Still no signs of over water/feeding yet. 😁🤘 12-10 Top dress both 2 tbs buildaflower, 1 tbs craftblend, 1/4 cup poo. 12-11 Just growin tall.

Hello everyone. so the growth causes me some concerns from what I believe I have identified as a deficiency in calmag but I have trouble getting out of it despite a second spray with 1ml of calmag/li at ph 6.5. yesterday I watered adding 0.8 calmag/litre (biobizz) I'm waiting 2/3 days to really panic. on the other hand, the stems are really big and suggest a robust plant and the well erected leaves reassure me about the overall health. I take all your advice with great pleasure. thank you all.

After ~ 30 hours the small root emerged from the seed. After 48 hours the small root become big and I managed to brake the tip of the root. After 48 hours from seedling the new baby has emerged :)
