One more week and this tent will be fully dedicated to the 4x fastbuds.....they've kinda slowed down in growth this week and probably gonna spike in a stretch soon

🌱 Black Diamond – Plant A (8A) | Week 3 Vegetation 8×8 Adventure – Folder 08 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure, my personal pheno hunt where twelve different cultivars are being grown simultaneously using the 12/12 From Seed method. The goal of this project is to explore each cultivar’s natural structure, flowering speed, resin production, aromas, and final quality while allowing every phenotype to express its own unique personality. This grow is cultivated entirely with the Plagron Terra nutrient line, maintaining a straightforward feeding schedule while documenting every stage of development through macro photography and weekly reports. Every plant receives exactly the same environmental conditions, allowing genetics to tell their own story. Black Diamond Plant A continues to show exactly why this strain caught my attention. While still young, she already displays excellent vigor, healthy spacing, and the elegant structure that makes a phenotype exciting to follow. ⸻ 🌿 Grow Conditions Week: 3 (Vegetation) * 🌡️ Day Temperature: 27°C * 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C * 💧 Humidity: 55% * 🌱 Substrate Temperature: 21°C * 💦 Solution Temperature: 20°C * ⚡ EC: 1.3 * pH: 6.0 * 💨 CO₂: 666 ppm * 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 * ? Pot Size: 15 L * 🚿 Water Consumption: Approximately 1 L per plant/day Feeding Schedule * Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L * Power Roots — 1 ml/L * Pure Zym — 1 ml/L * Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L * pH Plus — adjusted as required * Lemon Kick — adjusted as required ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development Plant A is developing into a beautifully balanced young lady. She has established a thick central stem with evenly spaced internodes, while the lateral branches are already beginning to push outward, creating the framework for what should become a very productive canopy. Her leaves display a rich, healthy green with excellent turgor, showing that nutrition and irrigation remain well balanced. New growth is arriving rapidly and with good symmetry, suggesting that she has fully settled into her container and is now directing her energy toward vigorous structural development. Compared to many plants grown under the 12/12 From Seed method, she is maintaining a compact architecture while still producing enough internodal spacing to ensure future flower sites receive adequate light penetration. ⸻ 📷 This Week Behind the Lens This week’s photographs really highlight the quality of her structure. The side profiles reveal a strong main stem with excellent node stacking, while the overhead shots showcase an increasingly symmetrical canopy. The macro images capture healthy new growth emerging from every node, giving an excellent preview of the flowering sites that are beginning to form. One of my favorite photos is the overhead shot where the plant resembles a perfectly balanced green star, each fan leaf extending naturally without competing for space. These are exactly the kinds of structural characteristics I enjoy documenting during early development because they often hint at the final architecture of the mature plant. ⸻ 🌿 Looking Ahead As she enters the coming week, I expect Plant A to begin transitioning fully into her stretch phase. The secondary branches should accelerate noticeably, gradually transforming the compact vegetative structure into a canopy filled with evenly distributed flowering sites. If she continues at this pace, she has every opportunity to become one of the standout Black Diamond phenotypes within the project. For now, the objective remains simple: maintain stable environmental conditions, continue the current feeding schedule, and let her natural genetics guide the process. Growers Love and as always, patience is part of the process… and this lady is definitely making me curious about what’s coming next. 💚

Ginger Nut Cookies & Aussie Music Videos Fastbuds GSC x Barneys Red diesel 6 weeks of flowering completed 9th April 2020 Hi Everyone I hope you are all feeling well and keeping busy during the lockdown. It's raining cats and dogs here (lucky there's no chinese around LMFAO) and the humidity is 100% so today Ive chopped this little lady down and she is now drying up in my shed with fans going 24/7. I was quite pleased with the amount of bud I got off her and it's smelling fantastic and is very sticky.The trichomes were very milky with a few amber as well. 😍 very easy to grow no fuss and no problems but we'll have to wait and see as to whether she is a good smoke or not . Now for this weeks Aussie Music videos 👊 Because we are almost at the end of this grow I thought I had better add a few extra songs this week to make sure I get a decent selection of Diffrent music videos for you all to check out. So for this weeks selections I chose Empire of the Sun 👊 Walking on a Dream https://youtu.be/eimgRedLkkU Big Pig 👉 (from Bill n teds excellent adventure) 👊 I can't break away https://youtu.be/f_rfXVdYelA Peking duk 👊 Reprisal https://youtu.be/4GboBAg2Syo The white stripes 👊 Seven nation army https://youtu.be/0J2QdDbelmY Grinspoon 👊 Chemical Heart https://youtu.be/58mXxWuUqYw The hilltop hoods 👊 Leave my lonely https://youtu.be/yKifJ4Q5ph0 And Silverchair 👉Not bad for a bunch of 16yr olds which they were at the time this video was made https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZD982yrmx4 The Next update will be the Final harvest update with the dried n trimmed buds etc. I will also have to add another heap of tunes in that I had wanted to play , so keep an eye out for my next Update of Ginger Nut Cookies & Aussie Music videos .😀 Until then Stay safe and Keep lit And we'll all get thru this Together 🙏 👍

Last week plants grew very healthy, as they got bushier the humidty raised providing a better enviroment, I could even reduce the amount of water I give them. Planning to move to flowering stage very soon.

coming soon... Harvest week..... Cut the girls down week 8 day 5. Did a quick truim and now will hang dry. Will report back on details in a week or so.

Se realizó una defoliación en la parte más baja y en las 2 hojas más grandes de la parte superior para que pudiera entrar de mejor manera la luz a los brotes más pequeños. Se aplicó Voodo Juice para las raíces y Top Bloom para la floración, ya todas tomaron de buena manera el cambio del fotoperiodo. Seguimos 👽 ...

Week 6/day 41

Running about 1050-1100ppm nutes. Added a bit liquid koolbloom. HST here and there to get spacing out. Heavy defoil Generally I wouldn't do such heavy stress at this point but its ok. Look at that bounce back the next day. Running 1 120W 2700k qb 266 and 250w 3500k qb respec

Hello,,, fin de semaine 10, semaine 2 de floraison. Les plantes se portent très bien. Elles ont fait un beau stretch depuis le passage en 12/12. Presque 40cm!! Un début de buds commence à se former. Les pistils blanc apparaissent doucement. Je vais attendre la fin du stretch pour refaire une défoliation, Parceque la canopé est vraiment très très dense. Ce qui améliorera la pénétration lumineuse et qui aura aussi pour effet de faire baisser l’humidité, que j’ai du mal à faire chuter en dessous des 55% pour le moment. J’ai aussi augmenté mon ec à 1.7 pour bien les nourrir, ce qui pour le moment semble leur convenir. Pour l’arrosage, je suis toujours à un arrosage par jour. Voilà pour cette semaine... Happy grow...😎

Finally past the halfway point and now we're going to hopefully see these ladies continue to swell. The whole tent is awesome i moved the mango cream out, harvested and then put a new lady in the tent to flower. The forbidden fruit is doing okay I'm just not a fan yet lol, the zkittlez is great and the liberty haze is a color changing frost factory. Halfway there!

Week 6 flower

Defoliated, trimmed and up sized pots

I am now flushing her with plain Brita filtered water PH'd with lime juice to lower her PH. I initially first flushed her with 42L of water and now I am flushing her once a day for 8 days and then I will put her in for darkness for 3 days and then I will harvest her and dry her for 9 days and then cure her for 28-48 days.

Paramahansa Yogananda taught us how to heal anxiety and depression with these three powerful affirmations from his book back in 1924: "I relax and cast aside all mental burdens, allowing god to express through me his perfect love, peace, and wisdom." "I will, with my own will, which flows from the divine will, be calm and patient under all circumstances." "I am submerged in eternal light; it permeates every particle of my being. I am living in that light, the divine spirit fills me within and without." All light stems out from darkness. Darkness can only exist in the absence of light. Where there is light, there are shadows. Shadows require light to exist. A shadow is a reduction of light, not a total absence. "Shadow"—the hidden, unconscious, or repressed aspects of the self—must be acknowledged and integrated into the conscious mind ("the light") to achieve psychological wholeness and prevent destructive outbursts. Rather than erasing the darkness, the goal is to reveal it and bring it into the light, thereby preventing it from consuming the personality. Very few make it through awakening without becoming a monster themselves. Every individual harbors a repressed, uncivilized, or dark side—regardless of how moral or virtuous they believe themselves to be. The belief that this darkness is absent in oneself is a form of dangerous ignorance that leads to "shadow projection," where one denies their own flaws and projects them onto others. "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate," highlighting that confronting this inner darkness is essential for psychological maturity and avoiding personal demise. All things exist as energy. We are vessels that utilize chemical energy and experience it through emotions. We are biological machines fueled by ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Emotions, e-motion, energy in motion, where you apply your thoughts, words, and action, is where you apply your energy, where focus goes, energy flows. Everything that was ever invented was first observed. The critical role of observation in the innovation process, where natural phenomena, patterns, or accidents provide the foundational idea for a new creation. Many foundational technologies were derived from direct observation of nature or physical processes. Wave-particle duality is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics, stating that all entities—including light (waves) and matter (particles)—exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties depending on the experimental setup The Heisenberg observer effect describes how the act of measuring or observing a quantum system inevitably disturbs it, altering its state. The observer effect is often misconstrued to mean that human "consciousness" affects reality; however, in physics, it refers to the physical interaction of measurement tools (detectors) with the system. It is often confused with the, but distinct from, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle applied to electromagnetism dictates that the electric (E) and magnetic (H) fields cannot be simultaneously measured with absolute precision, with an uncertainty relation of for a spatial volume. This fundamental limit means electromagnetic waves possess intrinsic quantum, non-classical, and fluctuating natures. The K radiation and quantum mystery of potassium refers to the fascinating, naturally occurring radioactivity of Potassium-40 (K) and the, until recently, poorly understood, rare quantum decay mechanisms that make it a significant, quiet, and sometimes mysterious participant in both biological and geological processes. 1. The Radiation: Potassium-K40 While potassium is essential for life, a tiny fraction of all natural potassium (0.017%) of all pottasium is the radioactive isotope K40. With a half-life of 1.25 billion years, it is a "primordial" radionuclide (present since the Earth's formation). Because potassium is abundant in the human body (muscles), we are all walking sources of weak radiation, often measured by "banana equivalent dose." K is unique because it decays via three distinct routes, creating a "triple" radioactive mystery: Beta Decay (89.6%): Decays into Calcium-40 (Ca), releasing a fast electron (beta particle). Electron Capture (EC) (10.3%): Decays into Argon-40, emitting a high-energy 1.46 MeV Gamma Ray. Positron Emission (0.001%): Decays into Argon-40 (Ar), emitting a positron (antimatter). 2. The "Quantum Mysteries" The mystery of potassium isn't just that it is radioactive; it's how it decays and what that implies for the universe. A. The Missing Decay Pathway (KDK Experiment). Until very recently, one specific path—electron capture directly to the ground state of Argon-40—had never been directly measured, making it an "unknown background" in dark matter searches. The KDK Collaboration (Potassium Decay): Experiments at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (2017-2023) finally measured this, helping scientists refine the age of the Earth and improving precision for detector simulations in particle physics. B. The "Spin-Forbidden" Long Life K has a surprisingly long half-life (billion years) for a positron emitter. The quantum reason is that the decay requires a massive change in nuclear spin (from 4 down to 0), a "spin-forbidden" transition that makes the decay highly unlikely, thus slowing it down. C. The "Mysterious" Heat Source For decades. Scientists debated whether K was a major radioactive heat source inside the Earth's core. New high-pressure/high-temperature experiments suggest it can dissolve in iron, making it a significant, long-term heat producer in the core of Earth (and Mars), affecting planetary magnetism. D. Quantum Biology/Biology Mystery. Because K is a major source of internal potassium radiation, there is emerging research regarding its impact on DNA damage, metabolic regulation, and the "bio-photons" emitted by living systems. E. Ultracold Potassium and Quantum Gases.In laboratories, researchers use potassium (K39, K40, K41) to create "degenerate quantum gases" to study exotic states of matter, such as superfluids, which are used to simulate quantum behavior in solids. In short, the potassium 40 isotope is a tiny, ancient, quantum-mechanical time (nuclear)bomb, slowly releasing energy from the birth of the solar system, making it essential for geological dating, a nuisance for dark-matter hunters, and a subtle factor in our own biology.
