Moin, Mittlerweile befinden wir uns am 21. Blütetag und damit am Ende der 3. Blütewoche. Der Stretch ist komplett vorbei und die Pflanze konzentriert sich deutlich auf die Blütenbildung, viele weiße Pistils sprießen aus den neu gebildeten Blütenständen. Entgegen meiner Erwartung sind alle Blüten mit Trichomen überzogen und die ersten süße Terpenen liegen in der Luft. Meine Vorfreude auf diesen Strain ist wirklich groß! Bisher sind keine Anzeichen von Stress oder andere Mängel erkennbar und die Blätter haben ein sattes grün. Die Pflanze braucht von ihrer Struktur her etwas Unterstützung, die Triebe bleiben auch für einen Steckling relativ dünn und freuen sich darüber in der spätestens Blüte unterstützt zu werden. Hi, We’re now on the 21st day of flowering, which marks the end of the third week of flowering. The stretching phase is completely over, and the plant is clearly focusing on flower development; many white pistils are sprouting from the newly formed flower clusters. Contrary to my expectations, all the flowers are covered in trichomes, and the first sweet terpenes are in the air. I’m really looking forward to this strain! So far, there are no signs of stress or other deficiencies, and the leaves are a rich green. Due to its structure, the plant needs a little support; the shoots remain relatively thin even for a cutting and will appreciate some support by the time flowering begins at the latest.

Day 85 not yet maybe three more days Day 86 thrichoms look good 80% cloudy I see some amber but lots of amber hairs not many white hairs. Two more days chop time. Day 87 couple more days looking good. Day 88 she's done thrichoms are way cloudy and some yellow pistils but my scope says she done.

Added first time molasses during feeding will be doing it for last 3 weeks before flush. For couple plants with redish leaves stems gave epsom salt. Thinking to give it to all of them. To me they look too skinny, but its aftermath of strech i quess ... Would love to have one more hlg 240 ...

Week 6 Flowering - More trichrome production now, but still a long ways to go. That's both exciting for yield, and tragic for my ADHD lol... She better look like Edwina Scissor-hands when she's done... I gave her a good watering at the end of this week with a blend of “late bloom” nutrients. Having such a PITA of a time watering as the fabric pot is too big for the tray. If you look at some of the photos, you’ll notice I’m basically using a party serving tray as a water retainer at the bottom since I couldn’t find anything in the stores. I might untie the branches in the last week, and dunk the whole pot into a large tote of water and just keep it in there for the last bit.

Looking great 🤙🏻 scrog net added and lifted

We chopped down the plants. Now they hang out to dry in the tent. The Trichs looked very good. Some milky, some amber, hardly any clear. Just the way I want it. The popcorn buds were rather milky. So we have more of a couchlock effect on the head buds and the maximum THC on the popcorns. I'm really looking forward to the taste💚

I flushed the pots once this week. And use once with enhancer and a very small dose of shrot flowering fertilizer. And I tried very hard to lower the humidity and make the daytime temperature not more than 25 degrees 💐🛸👽💥1

I'm going away for 30 days about a week into this grow. I'm going to automate weeks 1 through 5 by using the Blumat watering system along with the automated fan from AC Infinity. Hopefully, these will keep things going while I'm gone. I've never used the Blumat products before and I'm excited to see their potential. If I succeed, I'll return to happy 5-week old plants. If not, I'll have to start a new grow...which is what I was going to do anyway. I have nothing to lose but a couple of seeds. Let's get this automated grow started. Day 1 - I placed the seeds directly in a fist-sized clump of Coast of Maine Seed Starter soil that was then placed in a 3-gallon pot full of Coast of Maine Stonington Blend. This will ensure the seedling doesn't get exposed to the nutrient-rich soil too soon. I set the light 2 feet above the top of the pots so they have room to grow into the 18" to 12" range. I also set the light strength to 60% during germination. The temperature in the tent remained 75 degrees and humidity was 70%. I also covered the soil over the germinating seeds with mason jars to act as humidity domes. Day 4 - Both pots sprouted this morning. I immediately removed the mason jar humidity domes. I also increased the light to 70% strength and installed the Blumat watering system to help me keep things growing while I'm gone.

Buds growing dense, this week I added 2 uvb-a lamps to help increase resin production. Smell is also great, like sweet lemon tart.

Last compost tea feeding tomorrow will be the end of week 7. I am very happy with this girl. She has massive sense even colas. She’s covered in 💎 and smells amazing. No issues of any kind. The last week and a half she’s only gotten organic teas and will only be given water for the next 7-10 days and then nothing till harvest with 36 hours of darkness

las cepas de royalqueenseeds van creciendo muy bien !! impecable hasta ahora todo funciona excelente se notan sanas y muy pequeñas para tantos nudos , esto se ve esperanzador seguimos aprendiendo y si definitivamente el living soil es lomejor ! solo vean esas nenas como están de felices , natural, organico, barato y reciclable

this is the beginning of the 4th week along with the publication of the end of the 3rd week, this is how the fourth week is received, another intensive pruning that has no choice but to do it due to the size of the indoor, which is working great for us and we believe that I will always work like this, I am happy, here then the pruning of its results a little before and after and how it is receiving this fourth week, with the threads I touch a little bit of hair I hope it does not affect much but all in favor of opening the field to all the branch buds alike.WE CHANGE THE MESH FOR A BETTER ONE AND OF THE IDEAL SIZE AND AGAIN WE USE THREADS THAT HELP US VERY WELL, WONDERFULLY

I did not expect such a strong aroma, the plant smells very strong! This week I had a small pruning of the lower leaves, now the main green mass remained at the top, began to grow in volume. Cones began to gain weight, it is already noticeable how the branches became heavy and weighty, fertilizers added 2 times a week in microdoses, the passport indicated that with a stable coverage of 20-4 will grow faster, but I still decided that the whole stage from beginning to end I will spend on 16-8, since I myself assume that this is the most comfortable hours, next week I believe will be the final flowering stage, near Xia Harvest, at the moment all trichomes are transparent and white mustache, my camera unfortunately does not allow for high quality pictures and I can not memorializing it in the photo, in general, I am guided by its past cycle, and I feel that everything will be fine.

Week 12 (Flower Week 8): Pure Diesel & Top Service The Plant The Original Bruce Banner by Dark Horse Genetics is looking incredible in BW8. The buds are dense, sticky, and completely coated in a thick layer of frosty trichomes. The "Hulk" is showing its true power now, with a massive swelling of the calyxes. The Terps The smell is absolutely intense! A heavy, pungent Diesel aroma dominates the whole room, backed by those classic sweet undertones. It’s definitely one of the loudest strains I’ve grown so far. Equipment & Support I had to swap my carbon filter this week due to the extreme smell. A huge shoutout to Vivosun! Their customer support was outstanding—super fast response and very helpful. The replacement Vivosun ACF arrived quickly and is doing a perfect job keeping that heavy diesel scent under control. 10/10 for their service! @VIVOSUN @Hanfgarten @ViparSpectraLED 👍👍

# Black Diamond Auto Pheno A by Zamnesia 🌱💎 ## Week 1 | Fast Out of the Gate Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱 Welcome back to another update from the 12/12 From Seed project. This week we're following Black Diamond Auto Pheno A through her first week of life, and she has already started making an impression. Every plant enters the garden with its own pace and personality. Some spend their first days quietly establishing roots before showing much activity above the soil. Others seem eager to get moving from the moment they emerge. So far, Black Diamond Auto Pheno A appears to belong firmly in that second category. --- ## A Strong Start Like the rest of the garden, this seedling was transplanted directly into her final container filled with Plagron Lightmix. The objective remains the same throughout this project: Allow uninterrupted root development from the earliest stages while minimizing transplant stress later in life. As always, the majority of the work during this stage happens beneath the soil surface. While we admire the leaves above ground, the root system is busy establishing the foundation that will support the entire grow. And judging by her progress this week, that foundation appears to be developing very well. --- ## Environment Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week. Daytime temperatures averaged approximately 27°C. Night temperatures remained around 25°C. Relative humidity stayed close to 55%. The nutrient solution was maintained near pH 5.99 with an EC of approximately 0.46 mS/cm. Root zone and solution temperatures remained around 21°C. Lighting was provided by the Future Of Grow Black Series LED system operating under the 12/12 From Seed methodology used throughout this project. At this stage, consistency remains more important than intensity. The goal is healthy establishment, not aggressive growth. Healthy roots first. Everything else follows. --- ## Early Development The first few days showed some slightly unusual leaf formation, something that is not uncommon during the seedling stage. Young plants occasionally display small quirks while transitioning from cotyledons into their first true leaves. What matters most is how the new growth develops. And in this case, every new set of leaves appeared stronger and more defined than the previous one. As the week progressed, the plant began displaying excellent vigor and increasingly healthy structure. The unusual early growth quickly became less noticeable as new leaves emerged. --- ## Building Momentum What stood out most throughout the week was the pace of development. Each new photograph showed visible progress. Leaf size increased steadily. New growth accelerated. Structure remained compact while continuing to expand outward. By the end of the week, Black Diamond Auto Pheno A was already displaying noticeably larger leaves than many of her sisters at the same stage. The bird's-eye photographs reveal a plant that is actively building canopy area and preparing for the next phase of growth. Everything appears healthy, balanced, and energetic. --- ## The Auto Advantage One interesting observation during this first week is the difference between the autoflowering and photoperiod plants sharing the room. While all plants are developing well, the autoflower genetics are already beginning to show the rapid early growth that many growers associate with vigorous autos. Black Diamond Auto Pheno A is a good example of this. The growth rate appears slightly ahead of several of the photoperiod plants documented so far. This is still very early, of course, but it will be fascinating to watch how these differences develop throughout the coming weeks. One of the most rewarding aspects of running multiple cultivars together is observing how each genetic approaches growth in its own unique way. --- ## Three Fingers and Beyond By the end of the week, well-developed three-finger leaves had already become established. What caught my attention was their size. The leaf development appears particularly vigorous for this stage, and some of the newest growth even hints at the next stage of leaf complexity beginning to form. Whether those emerging leaves develop into larger finger counts remains to be seen, but the plant is clearly moving forward with confidence. For a Week 1 seedling, the progress has been impressive. --- ## First Week Impressions So far, Black Diamond Auto Pheno A has delivered an excellent start. Strong vigor. Healthy color. Rapid leaf development. Compact structure. And a growth rate that already places her among the faster-moving plants in the room. The early leaf quirks appear to be fading into the background as healthy new growth takes over. Everything suggests a seedling that is settling comfortably into her environment and preparing for the weeks ahead. --- ## Looking Ahead The first week is complete and the foundation is now in place. Roots continue expanding. New growth is accelerating. The canopy is beginning to form. And this little Black Diamond Auto already seems eager to show what she can do. The coming weeks will reveal much more about her structure, vigor, and overall character. For now, she's doing exactly what every grower hopes to see: Healthy growth. Steady progress. And plenty of potential. Huge thanks to Zamnesia Seeds for the genetics, Plagron for the substrate and nutrition, Future Of Grow for the lighting, and everyone following along on another seed-to-harvest adventure.

🌿 Week 7 Veg Report: Terpyz Mutant Mentha de Croco 🌿 Hello, Grow Fam! We’re now into Week 7 of this exciting adventure with my Terpyz Mutant Mentha de Croco ladies, and what a week it’s been! The theme for this week? Patience and appreciation. These girls continue to grow at their own pace, each one showcasing their unique traits and incredible beauty. Week Recap: Slow and Steady Wins the Race The girls are still on the slower side in terms of growth, but that’s part of their charm. Each leaf is a masterpiece, more intricate and stunning than the last. Their prayer posture remains consistent—a true testament to their health and contentment in their environment. They may be taking their time, but their vitality and uniqueness shine through every step of the way. Environmental Conditions: Keeping Things Balanced This week has been about maintaining a steady environment despite the natural slowdown in growth due to cooler temperatures. • Temps: Daytime 18–20°C, nighttime 14–16°C. It’s a bit chillier than usual, but these resilient ladies are adapting beautifully. • Humidity: Stable at 65%, ensuring the girls remain hydrated and comfortable. • Airflow: Gentle but constant to keep the space fresh and prevent any stagnant air pockets. Feeding Program: Aptus Holland Perfection Feeding remains consistent, and the girls are loving the organic-mineral lineup from Aptus Holland. Here’s what’s in their mix this week: • Regulator: 0.15 ml/L – To strengthen cell walls and increase stress resistance. • CalMag Boost: 0.25 ml/L – For robust development and prevention of deficiencies. • StartBooster: 0.25 ml/L – Enhances early vegetative growth and root systems. The switch to All-in-One Pellets last week has eliminated the need for liquid All-in-One, and the girls seem to be thriving with this natural, slow-release food source. Watering: A Gnat-Free Approach This week, I continued with bottom watering. Filling the trays and letting the soil absorb the water has been a game-changer—not just for healthy root development but also as a part of the war against gnats. Paired with yellow sticky traps, this strategy has kept pests in check while ensuring the roots get all the hydration they need. Growth Observations: Slow but Stunning • Structure: The slow growth might test patience, but the payoff is worth it. The compact, vibrant structure of each plant is breathtaking. • Leaves: Dark green, uniquely shaped, and full of character. Each girl is like an artist’s brushstroke—no two alike. • Praying Posture: Their leaves reach for the skies like they’re soaking up every ounce of light. Still no cloning or flipping to 12/12 yet, as I want them to grow a bit more before making any big moves. Next week, I’ll decide whether to flip them for a brief period to determine sex or wait until cloning is feasible. Photography Spotlight: Capturing the Details This week, I took some time to immortalize their beauty with my Sony A6000 and Nikon DSLR cameras. The intricate details of their leaves, captured through different lenses, reveal their individuality. 📸 Photography Tip: • Cameras like my Sony and Nikon bring out fine details you’d never see with a phone camera. The larger sensors, interchangeable lenses, and manual controls allow for stunning clarity and depth. • Macro lenses, in particular, are fantastic for close-ups, like capturing water droplets or vein details in leaves. The difference between these and even the best phone cameras (like the latest iPhone) is night and day when it comes to quality and creative control. Looking Ahead: What’s Next? As we move into Week 8, I’m hoping for an uptick in growth speed, but I’m perfectly content to let these beauties take their time. The journey is just as rewarding as the destination, and these girls are proof of that. Shout Outs & Gratitude A massive thank you to: • Terpyz Genetics for these exceptional mutant seeds. • Aptus Holland for their top-tier nutrient lineup. • Future of Grow (FOG) for lighting that keeps these ladies praying. • Pro-Mix Soil for providing the perfect growing medium. • TrolMaster for environmental controls that make my life so much easier. • Grow Diaries for the platform to share this incredible journey. • And, of course, all of YOU—followers, supporters, and even the haters—for being part of this adventure. Your feedback, encouragement, and interaction mean the world to me. 🌟 If you’re curious about the journey, feel free to check out my Instagram and YouTube for behind-the-scenes content, photos, and more!
