We entered 5th week today. 👀 I'm really happy with everything so far. Bare in mind we still have around 3weeks to go, so them buds hopefully will double or triple in size on those upcoming weeks🤞 But if not, i will be happy anyways because they are so frosty already 🤩 Smell in a room is also nice. Sweet, and really strong. See you next week🙃

Week 5 I’m extremely impressed these should turn out amazing as expected ! Only using Calmag and Tiger bloom

This lady has gone through many changes this week.. Firstly I tightened the scrog net and she was stripped of her fan leaves and the lower future bud sites have reacted well to the light. She has grown immensely in the last 2 weeks and I have now stopped tucking her under the net. She is starting to shoot out her Pistils and beginning to form tricomes on her leaves. Exited too see what she does this coming week!!!! =D

Start of week 4 flower, everything going awesome, she is absolutely piling on size already I am surprised to see, expect flower to finish in good time as a result, but we will see how it pans out :) So many sick tops, fattening up and starting to form crystal too, she smells superb

Week 02 Introduction This week has been a bit of a struggle. Had my first experience dealing with slime and brown algae. But I think adding enzymes and increasing the beneficial bacteria helped to fix the issue. Also experienced nutrient burn for the first time. My nutrient solution strength got as high as 671 PPMs. So backed it down to about 430 PPMs during the end-of-week reservoir change. Also cut Hydroguard (expired?), CaliMagic, and Superthrive from this grow. Now she's still stunted, but is starting to recover. Hopefully... [START OF WEEK 02] Day 01 - Monday - 08/10/20 - Total Days: 008 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Still looks a bit yellow. But getting larger! --- Solution strength was at 248 PPMs. --- Just topped off with a bit of distilled water --- PH went up to 6.1 so PH'd down to 5.8 --- Ran the top feed for a bit to wet the hydroton. - [2130]: She's looking even more yellow now. --- Even the new leaves are really yellow. --- Decided to add more base nutes. --- Added 4ml of Sensi A --- Added 4ml of Sensi B --- Now at about --- Solution Strength went up to 304 PPM. --- PH was at 6, --- Also raised the water level a bit more. --- I really hope it's a nutrient deficiency and not an over-watering issue. --- Please live! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/11/20 - Total Days: 009 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looking less droopy. But still yellow. --- Decided to do a reservoir change. --- 4.5gal of distilled water --- 8ml of Sensi Grow A --- 8ml of Sensi Grow B --- 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- 4ml of B-52 --- 4ml of CaliMagic --- 4ml of Hydroguard --- 4 drops of Superthrive --- PH'd down to 5.8 --- Solution strength: 302 PPM --- Since I didn't want to risk over-watering the rockwool, I did not to do a top feed, may do one tonight after the sleep cycle (lights are still set to go off at 10am and back on at 4pm). --- As I was doing a reservoir change, I noticed that the tubes and bucket were a bit slimy. Didn't really stink or anything. Is this normal? Maybe due to the Hydroguard and Voodoo Juice? --- I hope she gets better soon! - [2215]: Getting larger! But still yellow. --- Also can see a root growing through the net pot! Tiny little thing but it's there! Will have to start dropping water once more appear. --- After looking over a few DWC diaries using AN nutes, seems like my solution strength is still too low. Most around this stage average around 500 PPMs with about 4ml per gallon. --- Top fed for a minute to wet the top of the hydroton. --- Solution strength went down to 263 PPM. --- Added 8ml more of Sensi A --- Added 8ml more of Sensi B --- Now base nutes are at 16ml for 4.5 gal of water. --- PPMs went up to 411. --- Still lower than 500 PPMs, but that's okay. --- PH was at 6. Not sure if I should adjust PH using AN nutes. So going to not ajdust unless PH goes above 6.1. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/12/20 - Total Days: 010 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looks like more root growth! --- She still looks yellow. But leaves are perky. --- PH was at 6.2 so lowered down to 5.8. --- Solution strength was at 394 PPMs --- Since roots are still growing, I decide to lower the water level a bit. Now water level is a bit below the net pot. - [2200]: Root is getting longer! --- Slime is returning. Not sure why. --- Solution strength: 357 PPMs --- PH: 6.1 --- Decided to add an enzyme along with more beneficial bacteria to hopefully cure the slime. --- Added 16ml of Sensizym --- Added 5ml of Hydroguard --- Added 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- New solution strength: 430 PPMs --- New PH: 6.1 --- Top fed for a minute. --- This slimy residue is really freaking me out! I hope the added enzymes will help eliminate the slime. --- Going to do a full reservoir sterilization/nutrient change over the weekend. Please survive until then girl! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/13/20 - Total Days: 011 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: I think the enzymes worked! There is little to no slime now! --- Although I think the root was also dissolved in the process. It's now just a little stub sticking just below the net pot. The enzyme is also suppose to dissolved dead roots too but guess that root was too weak? Not sure what happened there. But I think the slime is cured! --- Solution strength went down to 395 PPMs. Decided to add more base nutrients. --- Added 8ml of Sensi A --- Added 8ml of Sensi B --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- Solution strength went up to 598 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.1 --- As long as the PH is between 5.5 and 6.3, I'm not going to use PH Up or Down. But still will monitor PH levels. - [1715]: Checked up on her after her nap and shes looking alive but stunted. But no slime! --- Decided to add some sugars to help maintain the enzymes and beneficial bacteria. --- Solution strength was at 587 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.2 --- Added 8ml of Bud Candy --- Solution strength went up to 671 PPMs. --- PH also went up to 6.3 --- Lowered water level a bit to hopefully promote more root growth. --- Top fed for a minute. --- She is getting bigger, but still looks yellow. Day 05 - Friday - 08/14/20 - Total Days: 012 ----------------------------------- - [0915]: Leaves look a little burnt on the tips. Still no slime. --- Going to back off on the PPMs to hopefully fix the nutrient toxicity. --- Solution strength was at 632 PPMs --- PH was at 6.3 --- Added/Removed water until PPMs were at 536. --- PH was still at 6.3 --- Raised water up a bit, then top fed for a minute. - [2200]: Looking better. Still yellow though. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 6.5 --- Added PH down. --- New solution strength: 518 PPMs --- New PH: 5.2 --- PH was kind of high. So decided to PH down. Had to use quite a bit to bring it down. But eventually got it to drop down to 5.3. A little low, but so far, the PH has always gone up so wanted to start it really low. --- Ran the top feed for a minute to re-saturate the top of the hydroton. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/15/20 - Total Days: 013 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: She looks stunted. leaves are still yellow. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 5.6 --- Top fed for a minute. --- Not sure what to do at this point. Going to do another reservoir change soon. Hoping she lives until then. - [2145]: Looking pretty much the same. --- A bit of slime has returned. Since I've been diluting the nutrient solution, the enzyme ratio has dropped. So I guess this is expected. --- Also noticed that slime build up was on the air-stones. Never really checked the stones so not sure how long that has been there. Looks brown too, which can't be good. --- Going to do an H202 sterilization of the system (minus the net pot) tomorrow so did not add anything. --- Lowered the water level to below the net pot. --- Then top fed for a minute. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/16/20 - Total Days: 014 ----------------------------------- - [0900]: STERILIZATION DAY! --- Decided to skip today's night cycle for a deep clean. --- I'm hoping that skipping a night cycle won't be too stressful. --- Temporarily moved her to a new bucket. --- Used about a half of gallon of straight distilled water to flush out the net pot. --- Drained the system and wiped up all the brown sludge. Also removed the air stones and cleaned up all the goo. --- Filled the system with 2 gallons of distilled water and at least 30ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide (35% strength). --- Yea its a lot, but since I'm not going to sterilize the system overnight, I went with a really high doseage. Basically I kept adding until I started to see little bubbles start to form. --- Then I ran the water pump. - [0915]: Boiled the air stones in tap water for about 10 min. Then reconnected them to the airlines. --- I let the air stones and hose soak in the sterilization solution for about 5 minutes so the peroxide can absorb into the stones. Then ran the air stone to help mix and agitate the solution. --- Occasionally, I'd repeat the process of turning the air pump off for a few minutes to let the stones soak. - [1000]: Covered the top two row of holes of the net pot with some aluminum tape. Hopefully this solves the light leaking in through the hydroton. - [1200]: Used an old toothbrush and scrubbed the pump clean. Then drained the system. --- Refilled with more distilled water and peroxide. Again added a lot. --- Ran system again to sterilize even more. - [1530]: Drained the system and refilled with distilled water to rinse. --- Ran the system for a few minutes, then drained and rinsed again. --- Did this a few more times over about an hour. - [1630]: Added 4 gallons of fresh distilled water. --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow A --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow B --- Added 12ml of B-52 --- Added 16ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 16ml Sensizym --- Solution strength was at 430 PPMs --- PH was at 5.6 --- I was going to add Hydroguard, but I think the bottle is expired. Since 2017 or 2018!? I think Hydroguard is good for up to 2 years from the date on the bottle or 6 months after opening. So not going to use from now on. I wonder if this could have contributed to the slime build up. --- Also removed the CaliMagic and Superthrive too. Going to only use AN products to eliminate the chance of incompatible nutrients. --- Placed her back in the bucket and top fed for a minute. --- Here's hoping for the best. Going to let it ride until morning! Please feel better! [END OF WEEK 02]

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B Week 12 | Big Mama Has Entered the Room 💎👑🌿 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And... LOOK WHO FINALLY GOT HER PHOTOS. 😂📸💎 After last week's little photographic disaster... "I forgot her." Then... "WAIT! I FOUND THE PHOTOS!" 😂😂😂 ...we are officially back on track. And honestly? I'm very happy we found them. Because Black Diamond Pheno B deserves to be seen. She's impressive. Very impressive. She's not necessarily the most glamorous girl in the room. She's not the one that immediately screams for attention with every single flower. She's not trying to compete with her sister. But there's something about this girl that keeps making me stop and look. She's BIG. She's substantial. She's powerful. She's filled her space. And at this point... I've started calling her: Big Mama. 😂💎👑 And honestly? It fits. She's Big Mama in her own way. She's got that presence. That "I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere" kind of presence. She's standing there... beautifully doing her thing... and becoming more impressive every week. So this week... let's finally give Big Mama the spotlight she deserves. 💎👑🌿🔥 ──────────────────────── 💎 WEEK 12 – BIG MAMA IS SHOWING HERSELF ──────────────────────── Last week we were talking about the girl the camera forgot. This week? No such problem. 😂📸 The camera found her. And I'm very happy it did. Because when you actually look at the photographs... you can see how much plant we're dealing with here. She's big. She's tall. She's developed. She's carrying a substantial amount of flowering structure. And she's got a presence that's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. She's not necessarily the prettiest girl in the room. And I'm perfectly happy saying that. Because beauty isn't the only way a plant can impress you. Some plants are delicate. Some are elegant. Some are frosty little jewels. And some... are Big Mama. 😂💎👑 She's impressive. That's her thing. ──────────────────────── 👑 BIG MAMA HAS HER OWN PERSONALITY ──────────────────────── I think we've finally found the right nickname for her. Big Mama. 😂💎 Because she's not trying to be flashy. She's not trying to steal the spotlight. She just keeps getting bigger... and bigger... and more substantial... and somehow every time I look at her I think: "Okay, Mama..." 😂 She's got her own personality. Her own structure. Her own pace. Her own way of developing. And that's exactly what we've been trying to document throughout the 8×8 Adventure. Not every plant needs to be spectacular in the same way. Sometimes the character is in the structure. Sometimes it's in the size. Sometimes it's in the flowers. Sometimes it's simply in the presence of the plant. And Black Diamond Pheno B? She's got presence. ──────────────────────── 🌿 SHE'S A BIG GIRL ──────────────────────── Looking at these photographs... I think the word "substantial" is probably the safest description. She's filled her space. She's developed vertically. She's carrying flowers throughout her structure. And when you step back and look at the entire plant... you realize just how much she's actually built. She's not a tiny plant hiding somewhere underneath the canopy. She's right there. Standing tall. Doing her thing. And honestly... I'm still impressed by her. Especially when I remember how differently she started compared with her sister. Pheno A became the obvious star with those ridiculous "every cola is a main cola" structures. Pheno B? She took a different route. And now... she's become Big Mama. 😂💎👑 Different story. Same genetic family. ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS ARE STILL DEVELOPING ──────────────────────── The flowers continue to develop throughout the plant. And this is something I really like about her. She's not just one impressive top surrounded by empty space. There are flowering structures distributed throughout her architecture. Upper areas. Side branches. Lower sections. Different levels. Different angles. And together... they create the overall presence of this girl. She's becoming more substantial by the week. And that's really what I want to watch now. Not some dramatic change. Not some sudden transformation. Just... continued development. More flower. More structure. More density. More personality. Week by week. 🌸💎🌿 ──────────────────────── 💎 SHE MAY NOT BE THE PRETTIEST – BUT SHE'S IMPRESSIVE ──────────────────────── I'm going to say something that I think is actually important. She isn't necessarily the most beautiful plant in the room. 😂 And that's okay. Because if we only judged plants by which one looks prettiest in a photograph... we'd miss so much. Black Diamond Pheno B has something else. Presence. She's impressive. She's substantial. She's got a very different visual character from many of the other girls. She's not delicate. She's not trying to look perfect. She's just... a big fucking plant. 😂💎🌿 And I love that. She's got personality. She's got character. She's got her own way of filling the room. And that's worth documenting just as much as the frosty little princesses. ──────────────────────── 👭 PHENO A & PHENO B – TWO DIFFERENT BLACK DIAMONDS ──────────────────────── And of course... we can't talk about Pheno B without remembering her sister. Black Diamond Pheno A. The girl who seems determined to turn every branch into another main cola. 😂💎👑 The difference between the two is fascinating. Same genetic family. Same room. Same general environment. Same grower. Same lighting. Same nutritional foundation. And yet... look at them. Two completely different expressions. Pheno A: 💎 Dense. 🌸 Cola-heavy. 🔥 Extremely dominant flowering structures. 👑 Every branch wants to be the main cola. Pheno B: 🌿 Big. 💚 Substantial. 👑 More relaxed in her expression. 🌸 Lots of flowering structure. 💎 Her own completely different personality. Neither one needs to become the other. And that's exactly why I love having both of them in this project. The room stays relatively consistent. The genetics tell the different stories. ──────────────────────── ☀️ SAME PHOTONS – DIFFERENT INTERPRETATION ──────────────────────── And once again... here come the photons. 😂☀️ Black Diamond Pheno B is receiving the same general lighting environment as everybody else. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures remain part of the room. We've reduced the output to approximately: 💡 ~59% power from the plug giving us around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with intensity naturally changing according to plant height and position. And I really like seeing what different plants do with the same basic opportunity. The photons don't know which phenotype they're hitting. They arrive. The leaves intercept them. The plant processes them. And then... genetics start writing the story. Black Diamond Pheno B has written: "Okay. I'll become Big Mama." 😂💎👑 Fair enough. ──────────────────────── 🌿 MORE CAPABILITY – CONTROLLED OUTPUT ──────────────────────── The lighting upgrade continues to be one of the most interesting changes in this run. We added the additional Future of Grow fixtures to give the room more capability. But we're not simply running everything at maximum because the switches are there. 😂 We're controlling the output. Around 59% from the plug. Approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And then allowing the plants to respond. That's what I like about this setup. More capability. More flexibility. But still control. And Big Mama is certainly taking advantage of the environment. 💡🌿💎 ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE STRUCTURE IS WHAT IMPRESSES ME ──────────────────────── When I look at these photographs, it's the overall structure that catches my attention. She's built. She's established. She's developed. The flowers are distributed throughout her architecture. And there's a clear sense that this is no longer a small plant trying to figure out what she wants to become. She knows. 😂 She's already there. She's Big Mama. And now we're simply watching her continue to develop. That's a very enjoyable stage to be in. The grower doesn't need to constantly invent something. The plant is already doing the interesting part. ──────────────────────── 👀 I'M JUST WATCHING HER NOW ──────────────────────── And honestly... that's probably the biggest theme of this week. I'm not doing much. I'm observing. That's it. I'm looking at her. I'm checking her. I'm watching the flowers. I'm watching the structure. I'm making sure she has what she needs. And otherwise... I'm letting her be. Because sometimes the best thing we can do is stop trying to improve something that is already doing beautifully. 😂🌿 The major structural work is already behind us. Now she's developing. And I'm perfectly happy to watch. If she needs something... we respond. If something changes... we adjust. But if she's happy? Let Big Mama be Big Mama. 💎👑 ──────────────────────── 💪 BIG DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN HIGH MAINTENANCE ──────────────────────── That's another thing I appreciate about her. She's big. She's substantial. She's carrying a lot of flower. But she's not constantly demanding attention. She's just... there. Growing. Developing. Doing her thing. And that's actually one of the more enjoyable kinds of plants to have in a room. The ones that don't need you to constantly invent a problem. 😂 You look. Everything looks good. You smile. You walk away. And then you come back five minutes later because you wanted to look again. 😂💎 That's Big Mama. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE CAMERA FINALLY GOT HER ──────────────────────── And I'm really happy with the photographs this week. Because they give us something we missed last week. Context. Scale. Structure. Presence. You can actually see her. You can see how she's positioned in the room. You can see the height. You can see the flowering structures. And you can see why I've started calling her Big Mama. 😂👑💎 Sometimes photographs don't need to be perfect portraits. Sometimes they simply need to document what the plant actually looks like. And these do exactly that. They show us this week's version of Black Diamond Pheno B. And this version? She's impressive. ──────────────────────── ❄️ THE FROST IS STILL THERE ──────────────────────── And of course... she hasn't forgotten the frost. 😂💎❄️ There is still plenty of resin throughout the developing flowers. But I think what's interesting about her is that the frost isn't the only thing defining her. She's not relying on sparkle. Her identity is much more about the whole plant. The structure. The size. The flower distribution. The overall presence. And then... you look closer... and there's the resin. Another layer. Another detail. Another little reminder that she's still developing beautifully. ──────────────────────── GENETICS ARE SPEAKING LOUDLY ──────────────────────── This is one of those moments where I really appreciate the whole purpose of the 8×8 Adventure. Because if I had only one Black Diamond plant... I might look at her and think: "This is what Black Diamond does." But because we have Pheno A and Pheno B... we know that's not the whole story. We have two expressions. Two personalities. Two structures. Two flowering patterns. Two different interpretations of the same genetic family. And that's fascinating. The environment provides the stage. The genetics provide the personality. And the plant does the rest. Black Diamond Pheno B has certainly developed a personality of her own. Big Mama. 😂💎👑 ──────────────────────── ⚗️ NUTRITION – SAME ROOM, SAME FOUNDATION ──────────────────────── The nutritional foundation remains consistent with the rest of the room. 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjusted as required Current solution values remain around: ⚗️ pH – ~6.02 ⚡ EC – ~2.14 mS/cm Again... nothing special just because she's Black Diamond. Same general room strategy. Same foundation. Same environment. And then... we watch. She's responding beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 12 ROOM CONDITIONS ──────────────────────── The room remains broadly around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 RH: ~61% 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💦 Nutrient solution: ~25°C ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h Same room. Same general conditions. Same lighting philosophy. Same nutrition. Different plant. Different story. 💎🌿 ──────────────────────── 👑 BIG MAMA DOESN'T NEED TO COMPETE ──────────────────────── And maybe that's what I like most about her. She doesn't need to compete. She's not trying to be Pheno A. She's not trying to be the prettiest girl. She's not trying to be the frostiest. She's simply being herself. And that's enough. Because when you stand back and look at her... she makes an impression. She's big. She's established. She's carrying beautiful flowers. She's occupying her space. And she's doing it comfortably. That's her personality. That's her story. And that's exactly what I want to document. ──────────────────────── 🌸 BULKING AND BECOMING ──────────────────────── The flowers are continuing to build. And that's where my attention is now. I'm watching the structures become more substantial. I'm watching the flowers gain volume. I'm watching the overall plant continue to mature. Nothing needs to happen overnight. Nothing needs to be forced. We're simply watching the progression. And honestly... that's one of the most satisfying parts of the entire run. Because when you stop trying to make something happen... you start noticing what is already happening. And with Big Mama? A lot is happening. 😂💎🌸 ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW ──────────────────────── At this point, I'm watching: 🌸 Flower development. 💎 Resin development. 🌿 Overall structure. 💪 Branch strength. 👑 How the plant continues to carry herself. 📸 And, most importantly... I'm making sure I DON'T FORGET THE CAMERA AGAIN. 😂😂😂 Lesson learned. Big Mama gets photographed. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – BIG MAMA ──────────────────────── Week 12. Black Diamond Auto Pheno B. And I think we've finally found her nickname. Big Mama. 😂💎👑 She's not necessarily the most beautiful plant in the room. And honestly... that's okay. Because she's impressive. Very impressive. She's big. She's substantial. She's beautiful in her own way. She's carrying flowers throughout her structure. She's developing beautifully. She's standing there with a presence that makes you stop and look. And she's doing all of it without needing to be the loudest girl in the room. That's what I love about her. She's not trying to prove anything. She's just becoming herself. And what she's becoming... is one hell of an impressive plant. 💎🌿👑🔥 So let's give Big Mama the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's appreciate the structure. Let's appreciate the flowers. Let's appreciate the size. Let's appreciate the genetics. And let's simply watch. Because we're reaching that beautiful stage where the plant is doing the work... and we're just lucky enough to be here documenting it. 😂🌱 Big Mama... keep doing your thing. Keep growing. Keep building. Keep shining. And let's see where this beautiful girl takes us next. 💎👑🌸🔥 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Black Diamond genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover these two very different expressions. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the room. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and giving us the opportunity to explore this expanded lighting setup. 💡☀️🌿 Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what these girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 And Black Diamond Pheno B? Last week, we lost your photographs. This week... we found them. 😂📸💎 And I'm very happy we did. Because Big Mama deserves to be seen. She's impressive. She's substantial. She's beautiful in her own way. She's growing. She's developing. She's building. And she's becoming more and more herself every week. 💎👑🌿 The 8×8 continues to remind us that there isn't one definition of a beautiful plant. Sometimes beauty is frost. Sometimes it's colour. Sometimes it's structure. Sometimes it's flowers. And sometimes... it's simply standing in the room and making everybody say: "God damn, she's big." 😂😂😂 That's Big Mama. And I absolutely love her for it. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. And let's see what this impressive Black Diamond decides to show us next. 💎👑🌸🔥 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where some girls are queens, some are princesses, some are little frosty monsters, and Black Diamond Pheno B? She's Big Mama. 😂💎👑🌿 Let her shine. 💚

fantastic smells coming out of the tent! The purple punch smells delicious. The sour diesel smells dank. The girl scout cookies smells like GSC

Going good this week. Really packing on the buds now. Added some more nutrients that I now have kicking around for a hydro grow. Plant 6 was transplanted last week as I thought it may have been having some issues. I pulled off all the yellow leafs and it seems to be alright. Just glad it’s still kicking. Question: Should I be pulling leaves off my other plants? There’s a few covering up lower bud sites but I’m unsure how it’ll effect my auto flowers. Question: Wondering when to harvest these bad boys. Trichomes don’t appear amber yet. Website for the seeds say 70-90 days seed to harvest. I’m wondering if I can push it to 90 days (13 weeks(ish)) even if they appear ready at 70. Will that effect my harvest?

Week ten for Franco's Fullgas!. Really love how she turned out so far – great structure and internodial spacing but her main stem stayed really thin. Let's see if she'll get some proper buds despite this. maybe had some bad timing with the training. Despite this she is so beautiful. And maybe it won't even be any problem? Did cut a lot oft branches and leafs this week, now she has to do her thing and really looking forward to the next weeks with her :)

wow look at dat!!! my husband made a very very good top dressing for me!!!! i put dat on and put water on dat!!!! den i put some wood pieces on top of dat!!! yesterday my husband said dat plant should butt chug now!!!! so like a good woman i took his very very good advice and dat plant did its first butt chug!!!!!

12/2- All 6 are looking good. Keeping temp around 76 and RH 80-85%. Using a reptile fogger as a humidifier and I'm happy to report it works beautifully. 12/3- Going smoothly. Keeping soil moist and conditions right.

@1.0 kPa

4 new strains coming!! The Vally: SFV x SFV Lime Vally: SubLIMEinaL x SFV Gorilla Vally: Royal Gorilla x SFV Peyote Vally: Peyote Gorilla c SFV So much pollen and I see seeds starting!! Pulled male flowers for pollen harvest every one is well pollenated going to save some pollen for future use!!

I have spent the week bending and tightening all the bondage straps to maintain the even canopy I'm after and allow for maximum footprint. I expect during this week she will get a net slung over her as I am running out of pot circumference to keep using ties. I need to work it all outwards now . She got a spray of boom boom spray this week after the heaviest HST session. It's a Foliar biostimulant that helps the plant recover from stress.. mixed 100ml to 0.5ml of boom spray and applied at lights on Still feeding just plain untreated tap water. About 1l a day ATM.
