Finally it's flowering time! I've switched to 12/12. Gigi is starting to stretch, 7cm in a week, not bad. Day 57: Added Alga Bloom, Terpinator and a bit of powder kelp to the feeding solution. Day 59: Turned on the dehumidifier. I want more high temps and less humidity. Rh% is now 50/55. I'm lowering the ph of my nutrients solution to 6.1 Day 63: I see lot of buds points, very good 👍 if this genetic grows rock hard flowers like a real GG4, I think this plant will be amazing! I've rotated the plant position 180° and added a reflective mat under the vase. Next week I'll defoliate very well Gigi. It's time to see some beautiful buds.

Hat geklappt mal sehen was herauskommt😅

Tag 35 Die beiden kommen so langsam in Schwung, messen jetzt 35 cm, entwickeln sich gut. Ein Mangel ist nicht mehr sichtbar, Mg wird aber weiterhin gegeben. Wir freuen uns auf die nächste Woche und einen Umzug der kleinen in eine neue Umgebung 😀

Esta semana llegue y un grillo se las estaba comiendo inmediatamente al otro día fui a comprar mi indoor jajajaja

So far so hairy... 🙏 Hello everyone, another week of flowering, you can already see how the white hair begins to grow beautifully and slowly turn into buds. I think I screwed up the description of which day it is, but when I finally find some time, I will try to verify it for you. All the best, You Lovely Girls Growers 😇

🌱 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. 🌱💚

Plants are loving their new pots and new space they are growing like crazy, definitely in their stretch period. They will be woven into a trellis this weekend. Thanks everyone for stopping by to check out my diary. Keep on growing! 👍

She is very fast i wont mind if the yield is average

Hello mate growers, All was fine this week, In this end week stretch start to be impressive, I up lamp each days, #3 is really biggest than others. I continue to give 2l water/pot 1 time grow tab + water 1 time grow tab + sugar royal + water Each 3/4 days I up a bit my power lamp each days, I'm now around 75% I'll probably remove some leaves and buds in shadows, next week, And start bloom fertilizer, Have a good week mates!

She is ready for harvest. Steams are bending due to buds weight

Blütetag 52 | Tag 112 gesamt Klima – Frühling im Anmarsch Draußen zeigt sich der Frühling deutlicher. Mehr Licht, mildere Tage, mehr Bewegung in der Luft. Im Zelt ist dieser Umschwung spürbar. Die Pflanzen trinken mehr, der Dryback läuft zügiger durch, das Substrat trocknet gleichmäßiger ab. Der Rhythmus wirkt insgesamt ausgeglichener als noch vor einigen Wochen. Die Kurven verlaufen ruhiger, die VPD liegt häufiger im gewünschten Bereich. Wir sind klar in der Endphase. Der Stoffwechsel arbeitet aktiv, kleine Schwankungen zeigen sich sofort – insgesamt aber ein ruhiger und stimmiger Verlauf. 🌿 Pflanzenstatus White Gushers 33 Sie reagiert feiner auf Veränderungen, bleibt aber insgesamt stabil. Die Blattverfärbungen nehmen weiter zu – deutliche Herbststimmung. Energie wird sichtbar aus dem Blattwerk gezogen und konsequent in die Blüten verlagert. Das Stacking läuft weiter. Die Buds gewinnen an Volumen, wirken kompakter und schwerer. Die Oberfläche erscheint dichter, geschlossener, reifer. Trichomstatus: Überwiegend milchige Köpfe, nur noch vereinzelte klare. Kaum Amber. Sie bewegt sich klar in Richtung Erntefenster. Triangle Sherbet Kush Auch sie zeigt nun deutlichere Herbsttöne im Blattbild. Optisch etwas gelassener, aber klar in der Endphase angekommen. Die Blütenstruktur wirkt sehr kompakt und sauber aufgebaut, extrem frostig. Minimal hinter der White im Reifegrad – jedoch im gleichen Zielkorridor. Trichomstatus: Milchig dominiert auch hier, mit leicht höherem Anteil klarer Köpfe als bei der WG 33. Eindeutig in der späten Reifephase. 🌸 Blüten & Duftbild Die Buds gewinnen weiter an Struktur und Geschlossenheit. Die Verdichtung ist sichtbar, die Form wirkt ausgereifter als noch vor einer Woche. Aromatisch entwickelt sich das Profil weiter. Die Frucht bleibt präsent, wird jedoch zunehmend von einer würzigeren Tiefe begleitet. Die Komplexität nimmt zu, ebenso die Intensität. Das Zusammenspiel der Noten wirkt runder, dichter und vielschichtiger. Beim Öffnen des Zeltes steht der Duft klar im Raum – nicht lauter, sondern konzentrierter. 💧 Nährstoffe Unverändert gefahren: CalMag: 1,5 ml/L Bloom: 1 ml/L Keine Anpassungen. Keine Experimente. Konstanz bis zum Schluss. 🐞 IPM / Biologischer Pflanzenschutz Keine neuen Maßnahmen. Das bestehende System läuft weiter ohne zusätzliche Eingriffe. Schimmel ist bislang kein Thema. Aufmerksamkeit bleibt – Überreaktion nicht nötig. 🔎 Ausblick Wir sind auf der Zielgeraden. Noch wenige Tage – realistisch im Bereich von 7–10 Tagen, abhängig von der weiteren Trichomentwicklung. Jetzt heißt es: Klima stabil halten. Nicht unnötig eingreifen. Den Lauf sauber ins Finale führen. 🔎 Wochenfazit Die Zeichen stehen klar auf Reife. Herbstfarben im Blatt, milchige Trichome, fortschreitende Verdichtung. Wir sind auf der Zielgeraden – aber noch nicht an der Ziellinie. Noch ein paar Tage Geduld. Dann fällt der Vorhang. — Rocko 🌿🔥💚 Flower Day 52 | Day 112 Overall Climate – Spring Moving In Outside, spring is becoming more noticeable. More light, milder days, more movement in the air. That shift is clearly reflected inside the tent. The plants are drinking more, the dryback cycle moves faster, and the substrate dries more evenly. Overall, the rhythm feels more balanced compared to a few weeks ago. The curves look calmer, VPD stays in the target range more consistently. We’re clearly in the final phase now. Metabolism is active, and even small fluctuations show up in the leaf expression — but overall the run feels steady and composed. 🌿 Plant Status White Gushers 33 She reacts a bit more sensitively to changes, yet remains stable overall. Leaf fade is progressing — clear autumn tones setting in. Energy is visibly being redirected from the foliage into the flowers. Stacking continues. The buds are gaining volume, becoming denser and heavier. The surface looks tighter, more mature, more consolidated. Trichome status: Mostly cloudy heads with only a few remaining clear ones. Hardly any amber. She is clearly approaching the harvest window. Triangle Sherbet Kush She is now showing stronger autumn coloration as well. Slightly calmer in overall appearance, but unmistakably in late flower. The bud structure is very compact and clean, extremely frosty. Slightly behind the White in maturity — yet within the same finishing corridor. Trichome status: Cloudy dominant here as well, with a slightly higher percentage of clear heads compared to WG33. Clearly in the late ripening phase. 🌸 Flowers & Aroma Profile The buds continue gaining structure and density. Their formation appears tighter and more developed than a week ago. Aromatically, the profile keeps evolving. The fruity notes remain present, but are increasingly supported by a deeper, warmer spice layer. Complexity is increasing, and so is intensity. The overall expression feels more layered, more concentrated, more mature. When opening the tent, the aroma doesn’t feel louder — it feels fuller. 💧 Nutrients Unchanged: CalMag: 1.5 ml/L Bloom: 1 ml/L No adjustments. No experiments. Consistency through the finish. 🐞 IPM / Biological Pest Management No new measures. The existing system continues running without additional intervention. No mold issues so far. Awareness remains — overreaction does not. 🔎 Outlook We are on the home stretch. Likely within 7–10 days, depending on how trichome development continues. Now it’s about: Keeping the climate steady. Avoiding unnecessary interference. Guiding the run cleanly into the finale. 🔎 Weekly Conclusion The signs are clear: ripening is advancing. Autumn tones in the leaves, cloudy trichomes, increasing density. We are on the home stretch — but not at the finish line yet. A few more days of patience. Then the curtain falls. — Rocko 🌿🔥💚

It is on a heavy heart i bring this news. I don't know where to start..... I've had problems with almost every bug known to man..Nothing new.. I can usually control it... it's sad news I have to post ... My baby is probably not going to go as long as I want. I checked her Sunday 10/1/17 ( due to caterpillar damage ) ( moths are really bad this year in So. Cal ) She has suffered .. I found a small piece mold..buried in a cola. I cut the cola. You can see it in the pics. My worry is I have more. Every grower will tell you spider mites are the worst aka the Borg. But there not thinking of mold or bud rot. Which is got to be way worse . The mold comes from catapillar feces.. yah I know.. I'm just telling you the facts.. Now you know my worries. And they are big.. I will address this issue. It can only get worse... I am so depressed thinking about it. It is very upsetting. It is hard to tell you this. I almost feel like I failed. But I know I didn't. I'm sure not looking for any sympathy. Please .. It won't help. I will make the decision on what to do when i have more information which will be Friday night for me. I will then decide my action. To harvest all , part, or clean out colas by opening them up. Every grow has it's problems.. Outdoor problems are so much different. This has to be one of the most beautiful trees I have ever grown. Just good genitcs. The pics do not do her justice. Trust me on this one.. Thanks for listening. 😔

Blütetag 57 Blütewoche 9 Breeder Empfehlung: (8-) 9 Wochen Wie an den Bildern zu sehen ist, entwickeln sich die Pflanzen doch sehr unterschiedlich. Die London Marker hat steinharte, glitzernde Blüten die Trichome sind milchig und teilweise noch klar. Die Petrus hat auch kompakte Blüten, ist aber deutlich blättriger. Sie sieht so aus als könnte man sie noch wachsen lassen,zeigt aber schon Bernstein-Trichome. Werde voraussichtlich an Blütetag 60 ernten weil es da passt und hoffe das die London Marker bis dahin noch reifer wird. Wenn dann noch immer klare Trichome zu sehen sind , werde ich zwangsläufig Teilernten.

she is doing great ... growing thick and bushy. she has about 6 main steams and multiple strong-looking branches on each of the main stems. her roots look good even though they are not bleached white, i should put a microscope on the roots one of these days to see the micro root hairs that high-pressure aeroponics tends to promote in plants. i was not sure how to grow her out - i like canopies but she branched out too much to grow in a 2'x2' space so i may have to scrog her in a larger space. i must learn how to ask plants to self-fim as she did - i have never done such a good job with my own hands, and may never.

Getting ready to shop her down. My apologies, but taking good photos is not an easy task without pro lighting equipment.. The trichomes and the flashlight are not exactly best buds, lol Hope you're enjoying it thus far though. Cheers
