The little one has put the turbo on. After a perfect germination, the vegetative phase has begun: the first few days are always a mix of excitement and attention to detail. The real leaves have peeked out, nice and wide and of a healthy green that gives hope for what is to come. It is adapting well to the Light Mix, and the initial combination of Dynamyco + Extreme Garden Root is proving, as always, a winning choice. I am keeping the nutrition light, watering with distilled water and Cellmax Rootbooster, so as to encourage a robust root system before moving on to the full regime. The humidity and temperatures are under control, the box is stable and ready to welcome the green explosion that awaits us. Eyes open and hands light. The road is long but the direction is the right one 🚀

Now with more water haha Follow me on: https://supergreenlab.com/public/plant?id=718890da-822b-4656-b0bd-cc186a2bdd8f

Day 63: Another week passes and the girls are now building nice long Colas all over . Buds are looking good and smelling so pineapple/fruity now. Buds are looking nice and hairy without looking airy. #1 In the organic soil is overall the widest and area hungry lady but her sisters are taller . #2 has been quietly pushing her way through the middle position in the grow and has some nice fat looking buds forming. #3 Is a surprise for me as I wasnt sure it would make it this far. No matter what I do , the leaf continues to look awful but the size of her and her now forming so many stacking buds , I am glad I kept her going now !. I do think at least 3 weeks for these ladies before harvest but hope to give them room to swell when the space is opened up.

Day 74. Girls is down. Chopped her way too early, but loads of milky and I need more space !!!! ;)) Thank You FastBuds for wonderful strain again !!! I'll nail her this year outdoors I guess ;))) Happy Growing !!!

Flowered her for 56 days, her trichomes were mainly cloudy, with a hint of amber. I removed the majority of leaves, leaving just a few absolutely crusted sugar leaves. She’s been hung as individual branches in my drying tent and will be dried at 55RH - 18*C for between 7-10 days. I’ve posted a few pre harvest pictures and a video. I’ll try remember to post a final dry weight and some bud pictures 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ I plant on doing another run of this plant as I took three clones 9 weeks ago, still undecided as to whether I’m going to keep a mother plant. I’d like to thank everyone that has liked, commented and followed this diary and BarneysFarm for an amazing specimen of a plant! 🌱💚

This was a very ups and downs type grow . I feel very blessed to get buds from this crop . It was a big one . Now I got the confidence back and will be full steam ahead . "NO QUIT"

14/7/21 Tercer día con muestra de pistilos 😬😍 Hoy le apliqué riego de nutrientes sin variar a la dosis anterior. Desprende un leve aroma muy dulzón. 15/07/21 Riego a base de nutrientes 1ml Base Jungle Juice Bloom junto con 1,5ml Big Bud más 1,5ml Sensizym 17/07/21 Riego a base de h2o 1,5L 18/07/21 Riego a base de nutrientes con las mismas dosis del último, una cantidad de 0,5l. 19/07/21 Riego a base de nutrientes con las misma dosis al anterior, cantidad de 1,5L.

Final week report: Buds look ready for harvest and terps are showing a good mix of colors. Mostly white on both with the purple starting to show some amber. Only watered this week (heavily watering to flush a bit), no nutes and backoff the lighting schedule (UVBs) as well as added a small amount of distance between the light and the plant. My thought was there was some additional strain with the CO2 being turned off and the light level remaining the same.

Day 30 Kush: + can't find any new hermaphrodite flowers + Continues to grow steadily Happiness: + Lovely sweet smell of candy + Beautiful flower structure +A sea of flowers - Shows lack of appearance in the form of yellow leaf spikes. But only a few leaves. Could also have been too much watering.

🌱 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.

3 autos are getting cut this week probably the last watering today. The other 4 are a few weeks behind. The big Photos are straight monsters Ethos genetics are amazing 👏. They are in week 2 since flip. The small photos are around week 5 or 6 veg they just got put under their own light for the first time SF7000 doing 50% at about 22" just to see how they react to the new light. They were also translated and topped yesterday.

3cm vertical growth this week. But she's got bushier too! Just waiting for her to take off.

Alien Vs Triangle is growing strong and looking great! Started giving some Mammoth P this week, looking forward to seeing the results from Mammoth P!!! 👍

hi guys, although the plant was born at the end of summer it is growing well and fast, the vegetative growth lasted about 4 weeks

😎

So really packing on weight now and looking the picture of health , nutrients really doing there job and plants are loving them , Really excited too get too the end of this grow now , Update at the end of week 8 she developed slight leaf tip yellowing after a week on full strength more PK at 2ml per ltr then a second week at a reduced 1ml per ltr the yellowing is only slight and a good sign you are pushing the limits of the feeding , Showing signs of ripening now so next week I will begin the flush ,

She put on so much weight this week I flushed her and now feed with ripen untill next week Mid week 11: still cloudy trichomes Maybe i let her go a few more days after the ripen scedule
