AK XXL Auto (First Grow)
As the plant enters the fifth week of flowering, the first trichomes have begun to form. The buds have started to thicken considerably during this week. They are becoming denser and more robust, which indicates that the plant is channeling its energy into producing larger, more resinous flowers. Throughout the growth process, the cannabis plant has shown no signs of health issues. It has remained vigorous and resilient, with no observable deficiencies or diseases. To ensure optimal light penetration and airflow, the plant was lightly defoliated this week. The cannabis plant is progressing well in its fifth week of flowering. The formation of trichomes, the thickening of buds, and the plant's overall health are all promising indicators of a successful flowering phase.
Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia Pheno B
💚 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B Week 7 | Small Pot, Big Dreams Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the reasons I love growing multiple phenotypes is because every now and then a plant completely rewrites the expectations we had for her. Pheno B is doing exactly that. From the beginning she has been the more compact sister. Shorter. Slightly slower to flower. More reserved in the way she expressed her genetics. But this week... She's making a statement. Looking at her today, it's becoming increasingly difficult to believe she's growing in just 11 litres of soil. Sometimes the plants teach us lessons we weren't planning to learn. And I think this lady is about to teach me one. 🌱 The 12/12 From Seed Adventure If you're joining this diary for the first time, welcome! Every plant in this room has been grown under a 12 hours on / 12 hours off light schedule from the day the seeds germinated. There is no traditional vegetative period. Instead, each phenotype is allowed to express its natural architecture almost immediately, making it much easier to compare stretch, flowering speed, branch development, internodal spacing and overall efficiency. The goal isn't simply producing flowers. It's learning how genetics behave when every environmental variable remains identical. Same room. Same lights. Same nutrients. Same watering. Same environmental conditions. Only the genetics are telling the story. And every week they continue proving just how different sisters can become. 🌿 Why Only an 11 Litre Pot? This run also includes another little experiment. Normally, I prefer giving plants considerably more root volume when growing in soil. So naturally... My curiosity got the better of me. I decided to grow this phenotype in an 11 litre pot, fully expecting the smaller root zone to become the limiting factor later in flower. Instead... She's proving me wrong. The entire plant looks vigorous. Healthy. Balanced. Strong. Which reminds us of something very important. When we're feeding with bottled nutrients, even in soil, we're essentially supplying everything the plant needs directly through the irrigation. The roots still matter enormously. But bigger roots don't automatically guarantee bigger flowers. Genetics. Nutrition. Environment. Root health. Everything works together. This little experiment is becoming a perfect reminder that sometimes there are more variables involved than simple pot size. And honestly... I couldn't be happier about being proven wrong. 🌸 Flower Development Begins Accelerating This week the transition is unmistakable. Stretch is beginning to slow while flower production accelerates across the entire plant. Every growing tip is now producing clusters of bright white pistils. The calyxes are beginning to stack. The future colas are becoming easy to identify. Instead of long empty stems, the branches are now filling with flowering sites that promise to connect beautifully over the coming weeks. One thing I particularly enjoy is how symmetrical everything feels. The branches are evenly spaced. The internodes are short without becoming overcrowded. The central cola remains dominant while every side branch receives plenty of light. It's the kind of structure growers hope for because it naturally lends itself to dense, uniform flower production. Nature really did most of the work here. 🍃 Healthy Leaves Tell Their Own Story One of the easiest ways to judge how comfortable a plant feels is simply by looking at her leaves. This week they're saying everything I hoped to see. Rich green colour. Excellent turgor. No deficiencies. No toxicity. No unnecessary curling. No signs of stress despite the warmer summer temperatures. They're acting exactly as they should: Tiny solar panels converting light into the energy that will eventually become flowers. Sometimes growers become too eager to remove healthy foliage. Personally, I prefer letting the plant decide what she still needs. A little leaf tucking whenever necessary has been more than enough to keep every developing bud site exposed while allowing the canopy to remain full of energy-producing leaves. Sometimes patience is still the best form of training. 💧 Feeding for the Bulking Phase With flowering now fully underway, nutrition continues shifting toward supporting heavy flower production while maintaining healthy metabolism throughout the canopy. This week's feeding program includes: • Plagron Terra Bloom — 2 ml/L • Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L • Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Plagron Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L • pH adjustment using Plagron pH Plus and Lemon Kick The EC has now increased to 1.95, providing plenty of available nutrition while still allowing the plant to feed comfortably. Green Sensation continues playing an increasingly important role. Rather than acting as a simple PK booster, it supports nutrient uptake, flower development, resin production and overall plant vitality during the weeks when the plant's energy demands increase dramatically. So far... She's absolutely loving it. 💡 Welcoming Lumiflora Under-Canopy Lighting This week also marks another exciting milestone. I've introduced Lumiflora under-canopy lighting into the room. Most growers focus almost exclusively on illuminating the top of the canopy. But once plants begin developing dense flower sites, the lower and inner branches often receive significantly less usable light. That's where under-canopy lighting becomes incredibly interesting. Rather than replacing the main fixture, it complements it. By delivering additional light underneath the canopy, the goal is to improve photosynthesis in areas that would normally spend most of the day in shadow. What am I expecting? • Better lower flower development. • More consistent bud density throughout the plant. • Improved light penetration into the middle of the canopy. • More efficient use of every flowering site. Will it perform miracles? Of course not. Good genetics, healthy roots and proper nutrition will always remain the foundation of a successful grow. But if Lumiflora helps those lower flowers mature closer to the quality of the top colas, it'll become another valuable tool in the garden. I'm genuinely excited to watch the results unfold over the coming weeks. 🌡️ Environmental Conditions Once again, consistency continues doing the heavy lifting. Current grow room conditions: • Week 7 Flower • Height: 130 cm • Light schedule: 12/12 • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • pH: 5.8 • EC: 1.95 mS/cm • Root zone temperature: 21°C • Nutrient solution temperature: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 639 ppm Stable environments allow genetics to express themselves without constantly fighting environmental stress. That's exactly the kind of consistency every grower should aim for. 📸 This Week's Gallery Looking through this week's photographs, it's hard not to smile. The full-plant portraits show a beautifully proportioned structure with impressive symmetry from top to bottom. The macro shots reveal fresh calyxes stacking around every flowering site, while countless bright white pistils continue reaching toward the light. One image that really stands out is the central cola. She's beginning to establish herself with confidence, surrounded by perfectly spaced secondary branches that already hint at a very satisfying canopy later in flower. The foliage remains vibrant and healthy, creating a beautiful contrast against the dark Zamnesia backdrop. Sometimes photographs capture more than appearance. They capture momentum. And that's exactly what these pictures show. This plant has found her rhythm. 🔮 Looking Ahead The coming weeks should become incredibly exciting. Stretch will gradually come to an end. The calyxes will begin swelling. Flower stacking should accelerate across every branch. Resin production will slowly begin increasing. And with the addition of the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting, it'll be fascinating to compare how the lower flowers develop alongside the upper canopy. The little 11 litre pot that initially felt like a questionable decision... May end up becoming one of the biggest surprises of this entire project. She's certainly giving me plenty of reasons to believe it. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Projects like this remind me that growing is never just about harvesting flowers. It's about learning. Experimenting. Questioning our own assumptions. And sometimes laughing at ourselves when the plants prove us wrong. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing an incredible platform where growers from around the world can learn, share experiences, and document every step of their journey. 🌱 Zamnesia for providing the outstanding genetics making this phenotype hunt possible. 💜 Plagron for supplying the nutrition supporting these ladies from seed to harvest. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the consistent light driving healthy growth every single day. 🌿 Lumiflora for joining the project with innovative under-canopy lighting that I'm excited to evaluate throughout the remainder of this grow. 🌡️ TrolMaster for helping maintain the stable environment that allows every phenotype to express its true genetic potential. And finally... A huge thank you to everyone following these diaries, leaving comments, asking questions and sharing your own experiences. This little lady may have started as the quieter sister... But week after week, she's proving that you don't need the biggest pot... ...to dream big. Growers Love. 💚🌿
GORILLA GLUE AUTO (bsf)
Obvesvacion por Maceta. Maceta 1: Mucha altura y poca expancion laterales, los cobollos se ven con ojitas muy chicas y definidas, no son tan gordos y comprimidos. Satisfecho. 😃 Maceta 2: Creo que tuvo un desarrollo como espere, con cobollos lindos por el medio y una punta imponente, ¿puede que podia ser mejor? no lo se. MUY satisfecho. 😄 Maceta 3: Fue Historia. Maceta 4: Petiza, con su unica punta que es igual al cobollo a mediana altura de la maceta 2, puede que haya sido el sustrato ya que tanto la maceta 3 como esta 4 crecieron de igual manera, poco desarroyo, mismos cuidados que las demas. Por ovias razones la regaba menos ya que no consumia tanto y deje de darle productos ya que no lo veia necesario. Decepcionado. 😑 Ahora voy a Cosechar. 😎

☆♡ Purple Punch: I'm just watering with flower nutes, when dry. I installed a small monkey fan to keep the air moving at the back of the tent, where they are. Waiting on the harvest, but may still be a little while yet. I DID NOT TOP DRESS THESE! ☆♡ 16.2.25: I decided to check out the lower canopies of all plants to see if I need to get rid of any foliage. I did get rid of a few small branches and leaves. However, whilst I was doing this, I saw more garden pegs from my LST remaining. There were about 6 or more in Pink Mist alone. Additionally, on Watermelon, there were some left in, too. I'm so annoyed to see that because the plants are really stretching, and I could've potentially disrupted this by leaving the pegs in for all this time without realising it. 🤞 that I haven't compromised things too much. We'll see. I watered today with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients; ♡ .8g Green Leaf Nutrients PK booster ♡ .5g Ecothrive Biosys I ordered quite a few things for the garden. I got Greenleaf Nutrients Sea K(elp) and Mega Crop Parts A+B. To go with their PK Booster I got last month. I'm excited to try it all together. Next run, maybe just using these. We'll see how it goes. 18.2.25: The plants are going crazy for water! Everything is getting used right up so fast! Today, I decided to add some more Black Strap Molasses to add some carbs and other micronutrients. I'll add the jar with the label in the photos section above. I watered a very small amount to each plant. What I put in: ♡ Black strap molasses 150g ♡ 2g Sea K(elp) Greenleaf nutrients. I dissolved everything in 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. 19.2.25: I received the majority of the garden purchases that I made. I'm still waiting for the Ecothrive Life Cycle. I wanted to top dress, but it's been delayed unfortunately. I am using my Greenleaf nutrients products which I bought on Amazon. I got the Mega Crop 2 part system Part A and Part B. I have the Sea K(elp), and the bud explosion PK booster. I really wanted to get some of their sweet candy asking read many positive reviews. Unfortunately, for me, this is unavailable to buy currently. So that's a little disappointing. I needed to do a good watering so when my nutes were delivered today, I got excited 🤗 I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water per plant, PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients: ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part B ♡ .5g Sea K(elp). The plants drank this up within a few hours. I'm going to try and hold off on watering in hopes that my Ecothrive Life Cycle will arrive so I can top dress and water it in then. 20.2.25: My Ecothrive Life Cycle arrived yesterday, and the plants are ready for their top dress and a good watering in. I have some Biobizz Light Mix, Canna Coco,and perlite. I'm going to use this as a base to mix my amendments in. I'm going to fill my 5 gallon bucket with about 4.5 gallons of my top dress mix. I will distribute this across 6, 4-5 gallon pots. Then I will water in well with Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Parts A+B and Sea K(elp). I've made a crude attempt to video mixing my top dress. Don't listen to the audio. lol, my YouTube didn't stop playing whilst I recorded this 😂 So anyway, I added the following amendments to the above base mix of 4.5 gallons; ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle ♡ 3 TBSP Vitalink Bat Guano ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Charge ♡ 1 TBSP RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 6 TBSP Ground Cinnamon.

Aug.24 and another round of thunderstorms overnight produced more rain and heavy winds but luckily no damage this time around. 👍 Most girls have past the pre-flowering stage and are showing little buds coming in. Still stretching and growing like crazy tho. Gonna have some big momma's to deal with. 😲😥 Last week plants were given a good flush with r/o water @ 6.3 pH to get them ready for the flowering stage.👌 This week started Bloom nutrients by Future Harvest cycle/schedule week #1 August 27 wind storm came through snapping another lower branch from Blue Fire #1. 😢 I hope the stress doesn’t cause her to herm. Aug.29 winds are supposed to reach over 60 km/h today and into Sunday. Let’s hope mother nature isn’t too pissed off 💨 Trainwreck #1 with her 10 big colas👆 are getting very heavy and smells of sweet citrus and pine oh ya💪 Trainwreck #2 is a sativa dominant girl that looks nothing like her sister #1 even tho they came in a 5 pack from Canuk Seeds. Gotta love variety 😋 Aug.30th Super Skunk auto #2 got chopped today after noticing a teeny area of bud rot. 🤔 Main cola is as thick as my fist and weighs just over a pound. 🤘😝🤘

the biggest plant on the right is booming, the one in the middle as well and fingers crossed for that one on the left not to die 😃 ––––– for some reason the one on the left does not want to start maturing, maybe stressed her way too much 😞 ––––– today i checked trichomes for the first time and vast majority is still clear eventhough pistils are turning orange 😊

Organic Blueberry cookies
Great week!! Amazing growth and I topped them as well as started to lst some of them! Only issues I seem to have with this strain is that the stems aren’t so strong as well sometimes leafs seem to be yellowing sometimes.. but other than that blueberry cookies are look good! Kind led K5 XL1000 Wifi is just crushing it inside my tent! I just love how I can change my spectrum to any colour I want, I mean any colour the plants want. I’m debating when to put these babies into flower maybe a week or two we will see... the mother of these plants have yellowing going on. I will up her nitrogen and see if she goes back to normal I also think she needs to be transplanted but I want to hold off till her clones are ready to flower! Happy Sunday and be safe!

Trippin yo. LSD-25 Auto Fastbuds
Welcome to my LSD-25 Auto, sponsored by Fastbuds, & Spider-Farmer + Mars-Hydro with new sponsored nutrients from Expert Nutrients. For now she's been given fish force by plagron and no nutes. As I'm waiting for Xpert Nutrients. I did add some small worm castings to add something to the soil. So, she's a lil slower out the gate but, I'm sure the wait to be started properly on Xpert Nutrients and not jumping from one to another will be more benifical for her in the long run. I see no need to add any core NPK nutrients yet. Although it will need a boost sooner rather than to late and be left with a runt. Or I'll scrap her and start again with Xpert Nutrients as I've no more plagron grow left just enough for the v2 bigger Fastbud Autos you see to her left. Let's hope that won't be the case as I've only 1 LSD seed left. As I broke the 1st ones stem. So I waited 2 weeks. And got this going with Purple Haze Auto. This will be 1 of 15 autos this round and 17 fems. 32 my biggest crop to date. All ran from a 1m2 and a 70cm2 veg tent with the help of my dark room I use to swap my fems out as I can't fit all in at the same time + with autos. My FC3000 and Spider-Farmer SF1000 have handled everything thus far. My SE5000 will make an her entrance this wk as 4 of my 5 fems will have left pre flower and will need better light coverage if I'm to get a solid ppfd coverage my 300watf won't do it Thanks to my sponsors and to all who stop by. I'll be adding the rest of this week and then more pics as she comes into her own with the new nutrients.
