Another week down and I think its time to move the camera up a bit. Getting hard to keep them both in that dumpy camera's optics. At some point I'm doing to invest in some decent glass for these videos. The plants seem to be rocking along fine after their initial topping. Did some light defoliating here and there but I'll pretty much leave them alone from this point on. I might do a bit more training but honestly I'm not after a perfect canopy.

overall Garden is looking great didn't look that great after Hurricane Florence's aftermath on the northern states

Day 73, 25th of November 2020: Hi! Well they are getting nice maturing buds getting bigger and all good. I love the red colour of the Red Hot Cookies. Unfortunately, Tropicanna Poison and Red Mandarnine does not show any signs of purple or red colour. Kalini Asia neither albeit, the bonsai version gets purple. Gelato is little beauty. So yes, basically not much to say. Fertilization is still the same every second day with the ratio and mixture above stated. The lamp is on 11.15 min and off 12.45 min. Last week was 15 min longer light cycle.... So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -45 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.15 pm.

Plant seems to be growing well, she’s has some nice fans. I’ll be transplanting some time next week. Topped her this week too.

One more week is behind us, buds are getting bigger, day by day. smelling incredible and is frosty A.F.Her pistils it starts to brown. On pics is 23 days in flowering

Black Cherry Gushers from Barney's Farm was a big plant with some seriously chunky nugs. The pistils stayed pretty light, but the trichomes were still on point. It's got that classic Barney's Farm quality – big yields and a unique look. Definitely a fun one to grow! I recently upgraded to the GrowPro Solutions Under Canopy lights, and wow, what a difference! The colors on my plants are seriously popping – they look so vibrant. Plus, I think it really helped them finish strong. If you're looking to boost your grow, I'd definitely recommend checking these out.

W17 (23-5 tm 29-5) 23-5 Temperature: 23.9 degrees (lights on) 19.2 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 59% (highest) 47% (lowest) Watering: None. 24-5 Temperature: 24.5 degrees (lights on) 19.2 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 67% (highest) 47% (lowest) Watering: 1000 ml. No pictures. After some waterings without any NPK nutes, the leaves are still very green, this indicates there is still enough nutrients available in the soil. From now on the last 1.5 weeks of flower i will only give RO water with an PH between 6.3 and 6.4 25-5 Temperature: 24.4 degrees (lights on) 20.4 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 67% (highest) 50% (lowest) Watering: None. 26-5 Temperature: 24.9 degrees (lights on) 19.1 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 67% (highest) 45% (lowest) Watering: 1000 ml. No pictures. 27-5 Temperature: 24.2 degrees (lights on) 20.5 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 69% (highest) 40% (lowest) Watering: 1000 ml. 28-5 Temperature: 26.1 degrees (lights on) 20.9 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 69% (highest) 40% (lowest) Watering: None. 29-5 Temperature: 25.5 degrees (lights on) 20.2 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 70% (highest) 46% (lowest) Watering: None. The buds are swelling nicely, are full of THC and smells very intense like candy. I cant wait to see the end product!

This amnesia is the first auto I haven’t stalled out with over watering or nutrients and I’ve learned that less is indeed more with them. For whatever reason it seems like they get nutrient build up if you don’t watch them closely and at this point she seems happier with 1/2 or even 1/4 nutes or less. I’m getting away from soil on autos for that reason and I’m not 100% sold on fox farms ocean harvest late in the game for any plant as it changes and it makes life harder in my experience even with photos. This lady is starting to really stack up and do her thing and it’s definitely my favorite auto to date.

Not much to do with Autos. I take a handful of leaves everytime I'm in the tent. Veg thru 2-3 weeks of flower.

It’s day 43 of flower! All of the plants look great! I’m going to start dialing back the light intensity slowly over the next couple weeks. Harvest time is getting close

Easy to grow. Fruity spicy very nice stone and made lots of edibles with this trimmings and have to watch out with dosing LOL.

@twenty20mendocino Ateam R&D Update! Let’s Go!! What another great week it’s been ! Today is day 39 for all but the 2 Queen of Diamonds an 2 VSOPs got trimmed up a tied down for nice training ! Really opened them up a lot so we get all them heads hit, just wait to see how bushy these girls get, let’s get em big! Your not gonna want to miss next week’s update an see how these girls bounce back! Hope y’all enjoy Peace love and positive vibes to all y’all Cheers 😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨🤙🏻

Day 73 The plants look healthy and deeply green. First buds have appeared — flowering is going great. Over a week ago I removed the base nutrient Simplex Coco. Now running only Power Feeding Bio — mixed it into the coco and topped the substrate with it. Watering with plain water at pH 5.7–6.3, CalMag, and flavor additives at 1–2 ml/L: Simplex Aroma Punch and Taste. Previously these same plants showed nitrogen toxicity — red petioles on the large fan leaves when using Simplex Coco base at 2 ml/L as per the manufacturer's feed chart. On bio nutrients and water, new growth is coming in clean. Some leaves still show minor spots from previous acid overdose. A week ago I ordered basic pH and TDS meters from a local marketplace. Now dialing in the water properly: first bringing TDS to the target level with CalMag, then adjusting pH down with Simplex pH Down. Sometimes as little as 1 ml of acid is enough for a 15-liter bucket. The new auto-irrigation system arrived — in the coming days I'll set up drippers in the substrate and find a 5-liter reservoir for the tank. The speed at which the Durban plants have started flowering in a fully blacked-out tent is impressive. Waiting for some fat buds! 🌿

Bonjour à tous les padawans et maîtres jedis Merci à tous les growers qui m'ont aidé À @laBOSSANOVA @Jésus @belzebut @vvince @Castafunk @bidou JE ME SUIS RÉGALÉ !

Ho avuto dei problemi ad aggiornare i diari ma eccoci qua! È stata un esperienza bellissima con le autofiorenti della dutchfem seeds, tanta abbondanza di qualità raffinata e fruttata la madmax33 semplicemente adorabile! Hanno resistito ai parassiti, si sono adattate subito al clima italiano del centro e la qualità delle infiorescenze è uno spettacolo! Piante molto abbondanti e piene di infiorescenze resinose, parliamo di circa 100gr essiccata per pianta! Che altro aggiungere, provate queste varietà!

Pues aquí tenemos las GingerPunchAuto de Kanabiaseeds. En está semana han ido creciendo muy bien y hace dos días le empezaron a salir los primeros pelitos de Floración

11.10.2022 130 giorni dalla germinazione al raccolto 70 giorni di fioritura Raccolto insieme alla maggior parte delle altre varietà della tenda, alla fine della 10 settimana di fioritura. Pianta forte, con rami allungati ma robusti, cime toste e appiccicose al profumo di skunk, formaggio ed erbe aromatiche Ottima varietà questa Gushlava, ottima banca semi Nasha Genetics, spero che presto si possa far conoscere anche qua su Growdiaries.

Alles super mein Training diese Woche war hart deswegen ist sie langsamer gewachsen dafür brauchte sie 2-3 Tage Regeneration ich hab sie mal verglichen Mit ein paar anderen aus dieser grow Community ich bin sehr beeindruckt von Euren aufzuchten aber ich muss sagen ich bin irgendwie paar Tage voraus trotz hartem Training Also wenn ihr Lust und Zeit habt vergleicht einfach mal selbst und Bildet Eure eigene Meinung sagt mir Was ihr denkt positiv wie auch negativ im Fine With that thx already and stay save and high!!!!!me stay save high!!!!enjoy life 💯💯

The plant continues to develop very evenly, with a strong main cola and many well-formed side branches carrying healthy bud sites. Bud stacking has clearly started, and the structure now looks set, with little to no additional stretch expected. Purple tones are becoming more pronounced in the calyxes while resin production is steadily increasing across the canopy. Overall the plant looks vigorous and balanced, showing great yield potential as it moves deeper into the flowering phase.

🌱 Folder 10A | Guava Auto Week 2 – Compact Beauty, Unlimited Potential Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure, where every plant tells its own story. This diary follows Frosted Guava Auto 10A, one of the most compact ladies in the room and, without question, one of the most beautifully structured plants we’ve seen so far. Growing under exactly the same environmental conditions as every other cultivar in this project allows us to appreciate something fascinating: genetics truly have their own personalities. While some plants race upwards searching for the light, Guava has chosen a completely different strategy. She builds. Every node arrives tightly stacked. Every branch develops with purpose. Every new leaf seems larger than the last. Rather than stretching, she is constructing the foundation of what promises to become an incredibly dense canopy. Sometimes the strongest plants aren’t the tallest ones. ⸻ 🌿 Growing Conditions As with every plant inside the 8×8 Adventure, Guava Auto benefits from a carefully controlled environment designed to provide consistency throughout every stage of development. Environmental Conditions * 🌡️ Day Temperature: 27°C * 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C * 💧 Relative Humidity: 55% * 🌱 Root Zone Temperature: 21°C * 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 20°C * ⚡ EC: 1.3 * pH: 6.0 * 💨 CO₂: 666 ppm * 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 From Seed * ? Pot Size: 15 Litres Maintaining identical conditions across the entire room allows each phenotype to reveal its natural growth pattern without environmental variables influencing the comparison. ⸻ 🌿 Feeding Program This week Guava continued receiving the complete Plagron Terra nutrition program. Weekly Feeding * Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L * Power Roots — 1 ml/L * Pure Zym — 1 ml/L * Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L * pH Plus — when required * Lemon Kick — when required The emphasis remains on supporting vigorous root expansion while encouraging steady vegetative growth without forcing excessive vertical stretch. Healthy roots build healthy harvests. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development This has been one of my favourite plants to watch this week. From the very beginning she displayed extremely tight internodal spacing, giving her a naturally compact appearance. Instead of reaching upward, she concentrated on strengthening her central stem while producing large, healthy fan leaves that quickly shaded the lower growth. That was the perfect opportunity to introduce gentle leaf tucking together with a small amount of low-stress training. The transformation over only a few days was remarkable. Branches that had previously been hidden beneath the canopy suddenly found the light. The centre of the plant opened beautifully. Airflow improved. Future flowering sites became visible almost immediately. By the final photographs of the week, Guava looked like an entirely different plant. Still compact—but now balanced, open and full of potential. Her architecture is becoming exactly what you hope to see before the transition into flowering. ⸻ 🌿 Training Progress One of the biggest advantages of documenting these plants individually is seeing how small adjustments influence their development. This week wasn’t about bending the plant dramatically. It was about working with her natural shape. A few carefully positioned leaves were tucked away. The canopy opened naturally. The lower branches responded almost immediately by accelerating their growth toward the light. Nothing aggressive. Nothing forced. Just gentle guidance allowing the plant to express its own structure. Sometimes the simplest techniques produce the biggest improvements. ⸻ 📸 Behind This Week’s Photos The camera really tells the story this week. Early images highlight a beautifully thick central stem with exceptionally short internodal spacing—a strong indication of healthy growth and excellent light intensity. As the week progresses, the overhead shots begin revealing something even more exciting: symmetry. Every branch appears evenly distributed around the main stem, while the large fan leaves frame the developing centre almost perfectly. The close-up photographs of the canopy are especially rewarding. Hidden shoots are beginning to emerge from every node, quietly preparing to become future flowering branches. It’s one of those weeks where growth isn’t measured by height. It’s measured by potential. ⸻ 🌱 Looking Ahead The coming week should be very exciting for Guava Auto. With the canopy now opened through gentle LST and leaf tucking, I expect the secondary branches to accelerate rapidly and begin competing with the main stem. Rather than producing one dominant leader, she already hints at becoming a naturally bushy plant capable of supporting multiple flowering sites across an even canopy. If she continues developing at this pace, she may become one of the most productive compact plants in the entire room. She isn’t trying to be the tallest. She’s quietly preparing to become one of the fullest. ⸻ 💚 Thank You As always, thank you for taking the time to follow another chapter of this adventure.
