GSC start of week 3

buds getting bigger

The girls look good :) I have never raised without LST, this time it will be just like that :)

What an amazing plant, was really a pain for me because it had weak branches and my lack of knowledge on this plants structure showed throughout the grow. Despite my shortcomings this plant did outstanding, I think it is the best Marijuana I’ve grown alongside the Lovers Moon and Nana plants Dipping into the stash 1 month into cure and it tastes amazing. Not harsh at all, smells of a powerfully dank herbally pine with hints of pepper in the aftertaste. 1-2 months more of cure and this plant will be at its peak she’s only getting started. I’ll still be dipping into the stash whenever I please at this point. Been putting alot of effort into my cure and keeping my jars fresh and below 58% rh My goal is 50-55. Have tried higher humidities in the past and had complaints or problems with the smell short and long term. So far the 50’s humidity has been doing well and you can tell the closer to 50 they get the better they smell. With time. I will try to upload edited pictures of the buds to make them closer to what I see with the naked eyee If you read all that I really appreciate your interest and know that photos are hard to take of frosty bud (: 🌞

420Fastbuds FBT2310/Week 3 What up grow fam. Weekly update for these stunning girls. Up to this point they've been growing picture perfect . Not really doing anything special besides still feeding nutes every other watering 500ml. I'll double the feed this week taking it to 1000ml/1 liter per every other day. Not seeing any burn signs from introducing nutes so will keep that the same strength. All in all Happy Growing

She took 5 days to germinate!! Day 1 - Mon 8th March She has sprouted but still has a helmet. Will give a few more days to see if she breaks free herself if not I’ll give her some help!! 🍁🍁 Very happy to have her sprout though I was getting worried!! Day 2 - Tue 9th March She’s managed to break free from her casing with a little help from me. Gave her a little more water and her leaves are starting to open. Day 3 - Wed 10th March Looking this morning she is growing but she has white on one leaf. She’s also wrapped her self in a clear substance not too sure what that could be? Any thoughts? Tried to get pictures best I could. Happy growing! Day 4 - Thursday 11th March (Her nick name is Nemo) so from the pictures you’ll see she’s got an underdeveloped leaf but aside from this she is growing well. Day 5 - Friday 12th March Nothing new to updated today really. Have a good weekend!!! 🍁 🍁

💩Holy Crap Growmies We Are Back💩 So what do you say we have some fun 👈 We got some EXOTIC SEEDS 👉 👻👻👻MONSTERMASH👻👻👻 😛 Well my friends we are just at the 28 day mark and as you can see shes doing great 👈 👉 So now i felt i need to start training her over to maximize her growth by doing some LST 👈 Just noticed she's starting to preflower 😛 Lights being readjusted and chart updated .........👍 👉I used NutriNPK for nutrients for my grows and welcome anyone to give them a try .👈 👉 www.nutrinpk.com 👈 NutriNPK Cal MAG 14-0-14 NutriNPK Grow 28-14-14 NutriNPK Bloom 8-20-30 NutriNPK Bloom Booster 0-52-34 I GOT MULTIPLE DIARIES ON THE GO 😱 please check them out 😎 👉THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO GO OVER MY DIARIES 👈

Week 3 By week three, the plant begins to show a clearer structure. Leaf size increases slightly, and the stem thickens just enough to support the growing foliage. Internodal spacing remains tight, reinforcing its compact growth pattern. The plant still lags behind others in height and spread, but its overall appearance remains healthy and controlled. There are no visual deficiencies, and growth continues steadily, if modestly.

The bottom watering worked for the week I think as away happy with results think I might just bottom water regularly and feed the tea from top every other changing 2/8 I did a good clean up and some pining Monday 2/10 I will filp to flower I also added power bloom today 2/8

Three of the four autos popped on day 4 and the fourth plant popped on day 5. Watered 1.5 oz when I planted in final smart pot size 3 gal. Watered 2 oz on days 3,5, & 6 when it looked dry on top. pH at 6-6.5 before I got a meter.

The past week I've been trying to identify problems with my climate and feeding. Three out of two plants (so also one of the XL Runtz) stay behind with exactly the same problems. I've been ventilating more to get cooler air into the tent. This seems to resolve some of the issues but has cost some development. Reason enough to call off the battle. The playing field was influenced by me as I'm still getting to know 'the rules of engagement' with growing autos indoors. They are way more sensitive to influences than my usual regulars. So I'm using all this info to tune my tent, for climate, and the soil for nutrients. So the next run will be more stable. Still, these strains completely amaze me with how fast they put out these buds. It is almost alien in 6 short weeks up to now. Considering my options for summer. Dealing with temps in a hot attic, or start growing some plants indoors and transfer to outdoor when it gets too hot. The jury is still out on this but the invasion of Ukraine could play a role in this as my government keeps pumping Russian oil and gas for our energy needs and Sunshine and me stand solid in our support for a free Ukraine. Thanks for following again!! Hug Bud and Sunshine!

Flowering day 44 since time change to 12 / 12 h Hey guys :-) The buds are becoming incredibly beautiful and smelling better and better ☺️. Today there was again the full load of food and will be slowly driven down as soon as it comes to an end :-) Was watered 3 times a week with 1.2 l each (nutrients see table above) Otherwise everything was cleaned.

estos últimos dias estiraron bastante los apicales aumentando la distancia entre nudos. para bajar el PH utilizo ácido cítrico . El agua de grifo de base sale a 8,2 Ph y voy añadiendo hasta bajar a 6,7 áprox. A los 25 y 26 dias estas plantas poco deberian de crecer más y todas ya han elejido por donde crecer y engordar. Llegados a este punto quité alguna hoja y algún chupóptero y até algunas de las ramas a los tutores como buenamente se pudo. El fin no es otro que mirar de acomodarlas por donde seguir creciendo y no tengan que soportar ellas solas el peso que se les viene encima cuando engorden los cogollos. Como puede verse a una de ellas le salió una mutación genética llamada fasciación. una modificación cromosómica .

Evening, Cannafam and Happy Easter to those of you that celebrate it 🐇 This has been yet another great week with my 3 Green Crack girls. I can't remember if I mentioned it in my last update but I switched out my 300 watt Viperspectra LED for my 600 watt Mars Hydro, also lollipopped the 3 of them and whenever I see a leaf that I didn't notice in my initial defoliation that is obstructing light to bud sites I pop it off but never more than a few leaves at a time. The plants are pretty much in auto pilot right now just cruising. There's no more maintenance left to do on them and aside from feeding them I don't really have to do much except setback and wait on my weed lol

Day 14 - no water today, the girls seem to like their new pots (10 cm) Day 15 - 300 ml water with Acti+Heaven+Grow (Ph 6.8)(11 cm) Day 16 - litttle bit water (Ph 6.6)(13 cm) Day 17 - 300 ml water with Acti+Heaven+Grow+Calmag (Ph 6.7)(14 cm) Day 18 - 400 ml water + LST (Ph 6.6)(15 cm) Day 19 - no water (16 cm) Day 20 - 660 ml water with Acti+Heaven+Grow (Ph 6.5)(17 cm) Day 21 - no water (starting to show preflower pistils)(20 cm)

Added 2 videos on preparing a nutrient solution and pH balancing the solution. This week saw aggressive topping (mid week 4) and some serious leaf damage. Not sure if the leaf damage is from the topping, nutrients, etc. I did a flush and solution swap, cleaned the air stone and inside of the jar etc. Built the trellis and started training. I'll cut away whatever trellis doesn't end up getting used once flowering starts. Creepy Don Santa is watching this grow closely. That cat of his is trouble.

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B | Week 2 Flower | Hidden Elegance Begins to Shine Not every exceptional plant demands the spotlight. Some quietly earn it. Black Diamond Auto Pheno B has continued doing exactly that throughout her second week of flowering. While her sister naturally catches the eye with her explosive presence, Pheno B keeps impressing through balance, structure, and effortless development. Watching these two sisters grow side by side has become one of the highlights of this project. They share the same genetics, the same environment, identical nutrition, lighting, irrigation, and gentle training, yet each expresses her own unique personality. That, to me, is where the magic of phenotype hunting truly begins. Like every plant in this project, she has been grown using my favourite method: 12/12 From Seed. From the very first day above the soil she has lived entirely under a flowering light schedule, allowing her genetics to dictate her natural architecture without an extended vegetative period. There has been no topping, no high-stress techniques and no aggressive manipulation. Only patience, observation, and gentle guidance. Low Stress Training has simply encouraged the branches to open naturally while allowing the plant to grow toward the light exactly as she wanted. Week after week she continues proving just how capable this technique can be. 🌱 Environment Another stable week has allowed every bit of energy to be invested into flower production rather than environmental adaptation. 🌡️ Day Temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative Humidity: 60% 🥤 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 21°C 🌱 Root Zone Temperature: 21°C ☀️ Light Schedule: 12/12 🌬️ CO₂: 636 ppm Consistency remains one of the greatest advantages inside this flowering room. Healthy roots, stable temperatures, continuous fresh air and reliable irrigation create an environment where the plants never need to recover—they simply continue growing. When the environment stays predictable, the genetics can truly express themselves. 🌿 Training & Canopy Management The philosophy hasn't changed because the plants haven't given me any reason to change it. Gentle Low Stress Training continues guiding the canopy while regular leaf tucking keeps developing flower sites exposed without sacrificing valuable foliage. There has still been no defoliation. Healthy fan leaves remain the plant's solar panels, converting light into the energy required to build flowers over the coming weeks. Rather than removing them, I simply reposition them whenever necessary, allowing light to reach lower bud sites while preserving as much photosynthetic capacity as possible. Sometimes restraint is the best form of training. 🌾 Feeding Program Flower production is now accelerating, and the nutrition program continues supporting both continued stretch and increasingly active bud formation. Current feeding includes: • Plagron Terra Bloom • Plagron Power Buds • Plagron Sugar Royal • Plagron Pure Zym • Plagron Green Sensation Everything remains beautifully balanced. The foliage stays deep green without becoming overly dark, growth remains vigorous, and there are no visible signs of nutrient deficiencies or excesses. She's clearly comfortable with the current feeding schedule, and when a plant tells you she's happy, the smartest decision is often to simply stay the course. 💎 Phenotype Spotlight This week Pheno B continues showing exactly why documenting individual phenotypes is so rewarding. Standing at roughly 160 cm, she's keeping pace with her sister, only fractionally smaller, while maintaining the same elegant, upright structure. Her branches remain evenly spaced, giving every developing flower site excellent airflow and light penetration. One characteristic has become increasingly noticeable. Although Black Diamond Auto is heavily indica dominant thanks to its Blackberry × Diamond OG lineage, this particular phenotype is expressing surprisingly slender, elongated leaf fingers. It's a subtle reminder that even in highly indica cultivars, recessive traits from the genetic background can occasionally step forward. She may be genetically around ninety percent indica, but those beautiful leaves seem determined to celebrate the remaining ten percent. And honestly... I absolutely love that. The flowering sites themselves are developing beautifully. Fresh white pistils continue emerging along every branch, while the calyxes are beginning to stack one above another, slowly creating the framework that will become long, continuous colas over the coming weeks. Every internode is now actively producing flowers, creating excellent spacing that should allow impressive bud development as flowering progresses. Even more exciting is the very first appearance of resin. It's still far too early to judge aroma or trichome production, and I certainly won't pretend otherwise, but a light sparkle is already beginning to appear across parts of the flowers and surrounding sugar leaves. It's only the opening chapter of what I hope will become a wonderfully frosty finish. Sometimes the earliest frost is simply a promise of what's still to come. 💡 Welcoming Lumiflora This week also marks another exciting step for the flowering room with the introduction of the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting system. The goal isn't to replace the main lighting overhead, but to complement it by delivering additional light into areas that naturally receive less intensity beneath the canopy. I'm looking forward to seeing how the extra light influences lower flower development, bud density, and overall canopy uniformity during the coming weeks. As always, I prefer to let the plants tell the story. Rather than making bold claims before the harvest, I'll simply continue documenting the results honestly and allow the final flowers to speak for themselves. 🔭 Looking Ahead Over the next week I expect vertical stretch to begin slowing as the plant redirects more energy into flower production. Those individual clusters of white pistils should continue connecting together as the calyxes swell, gradually transforming the elegant framework she's built into long, well-defined colas. Resin production should become increasingly visible, while the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting begins revealing whether additional light below the canopy can further improve lower flower development. I'll continue with gentle leaf tucking whenever needed, keeping the canopy open while allowing every healthy fan leaf to keep powering the plant naturally. If she maintains this steady pace, I think she's going to reward patience in a very big way. She's never tried to be the loudest plant in the room. She's simply focused on becoming one of the best. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for providing these fantastic Black Diamond Auto genetics, to Plagron for continuing to support every stage of this journey with an incredibly reliable nutrient line, and now also to Lumiflora for joining the project with their under-canopy lighting system. I'm genuinely excited to document how this additional layer of lighting influences flower development over the remainder of the grow. Finally, my sincere thanks goes to the amazing GrowDiaries community. Your encouragement, thoughtful comments, and shared passion for growing are what make these weekly phenotype journals such a pleasure to write. Following two sisters side by side, watching them reveal different expressions of the very same genetics, is one of the greatest reminders that every seed has its own story waiting to be told. Until next week... Growers love and Happy Growing! 🌱💚
