504g autoflower with AGLEX 2000w cob led
I finally broke a pound with a single autoflower! Couldnโ€™t have done it without AGLEX cob ledโ€™s, Remo Nutrients, and coco coir. Theyโ€™ve changed my game completely! This grow started off as a pretty standard grow. I did absolutely no training until the veg period was winding down, and pre-flower was beginning. As the SCROG net went in, a little later than planned, numb fingers due to cervical spinal issues, and a poorly time muscle spasm, I snapped the main stalk...disaster right? Apparently not! Theyโ€™re tough plants! Within a day or so she was perked up and sending up new colas from all the growth nodes now exposed to the 2000w AGLEX cob ledโ€™s. These lights have transformed my grow process, and increased my yields by over 300% compared to my old ledโ€™s, and only draws 408w from the wall. 1.23g/w is quite satisfactory I didnโ€™t have much tucking to do this grow after the original SCROG. Due to the fact I was a little late getting the SCROG net in place, she didnโ€™t have too much stretch left in her, she certainly fattened up quite nicely though, almost too much so in places. The front left side of the SCROG net got awfully crowded with huge buds packed tightly together. Lesson learned...keep the branches spaced apart slightly further, and maybe allow slightly more vertical growth of the colas to allow slightly better light, and air flow penetration. My issue is I only have 6 foot ceilings in my tents. The ceiling in my grow room is only a little over 6โ€™2โ€. I managed, through SCROG techniques, without topping or fimming, to keep the top of my canopy 24โ€ from the floor. This allows plenty of space above for the AGLEX cob, and exhaust fan. After last feeding I flushed with just Phโ€™ed water for 5 days, then gave the plant 48 hours of darkness, to rid itself of chlorophyll before harvesting on November 4th and hanging in a drying rack. Itโ€™s still curing in jars but after trying a few samples, itโ€™s an awesome strain, and hits hard. Itโ€™s not as hard as it sounds to fill a 4x4 tent with a single autoflower, and still pull 18 ounces (504g) out of that tent. With simple SCROG technique, defoliation, quality grow medium you can achieve the same results. Of course youโ€™ll need an AGLEX 2000w cob, but for an 18 ounce return on a $300CAD light, in 3 months, itโ€™s a no brainer folks! You wonโ€™t find a better light under $300 Canadian. Youโ€™ll also need a quality nutrient line, and itโ€™s hard to go wrong with the Remo Supercharged Kit. The proof of those 2 products quality are in my harvest. I hope this has helped improve your own grows somehow :) Head over to YouTube and visit my channel, just search for Scrog Freak, or click the link below.

Day 57 Day 14 Flower Done a big feed for start of week. Using 3ml not the recommended 4ml per ltr of base nutes. And using rec 2ml per added nute per ltr. She is initiating her stretch now, looking so happy and healthy, so this is 5/5 of the terp tree seeds. 2nd one to make it to flower. Very strong plant I'm happy ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ’š Day 58 Day 15 Flower Updated pictures today, how many tops?!? ๐Ÿคฃ Holy cow. No topping just LST and trying to mainline. Now I see the results on the tops already in start of flower, by doing this method I see it focuses more energy and effort from the plant to be directed to the tops after mainlining / lollipopping. If not over stressed they flipping thrive it's incredible. She is throwing out fat new growth, nodes are forming so nicely and she's about to pop ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’š Day 60 Day 17 Flower 27/05/24 Water today with calmag. Stretch is savage on her ๐Ÿ˜ Day 63 Day 20 flower. 30/05/24 Again water with calmag today. pH 6.43
FastBuds Wedding Cheesecake FF outdoor
~ WEDDING CHEESECAKE FAST FLOWER by FastBuds ~ Well fam, here we go again with another epic strain from FastBuds Fast Flowering stable. After having such tremendous success growing their Gorilla Cookies Fast Flower outdoors last year, I've decided to run another of their fast flowering strains outdoors this year... Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower! The best description of this awesome cultivar comes directly from my friends at FastBuds which is as follows: "A delight for the mind and body: Wedding Cheesecake FF (Fast-Flowering) is a delicious strain that offers XXL yields in a 7-8 weeks flowering cycle. This terpene powerhouse produces loads and loads of mouth-watering vanilla-creamy-cookie-scented terps with hints of citrus and cinnamon. In addition to its delicious aromas, this variety grows very well in both indoor and outdoor setups, yielding up to 650 g/m2 without extra maintenance, making it the ideal strain for beginners as it allows you to maximize yields while minimizing work. This super-fast feminized photoperiod version offers upbeat and energetic yet deeply relaxing effects that are perfect for consumers looking for a heavily focused, motivating, and creative high. Itโ€™s the ideal strain for those needing that extra energy boost to start a busy day on the right foot. Wedding Cheesecake FF boasts chunky, large-sized buds with a thick layer of silvery-white resin and bright orange hairs scattered all over: that just screams โ€˜qualityโ€™. The lime-green flowers sparkle with an array of hues ranging from dark to light green, to magenta and purple, and reek of a delicious aroma thatโ€™ll remind you of fresh store-bought cheesecake. This is an XXL hybrid that grows extremely tall in height, reaching up to 3m with one huge main cola and multiple long side branches that can withstand enormous yields of up to 650 g/m2 with ease. Wedding Cheesecake FF is extremely resilient to the elements and can be grown in almost every climate as long as youโ€™ve got the space and basics covered, making her an excellent choice for those looking for large-scale harvests with a quick turnaround time without much effort." ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: This is going to be an outdoor grow, but I have started the Wedding Cheesecake FF indoors as our weather is still too cold to put her outside (nighttime temp's dipping regularly into the 30'sโ„‰). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures stay above the mid 40'sโ„‰, at which point she'll be moved outside and transplanted into the soil which I have already setup and inoculated with beneficial microbes, and then let the fun begin!๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ’š ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 8/13- Week Two of flower is here for the FastBuds Wedding Cheesecake FF, and I must say how thoroughly impressed I am so far with this strain! It has withstood attacks by insects (leaf hoppers and Japanese Beatles), intense heat and humidity (110โ„‰ heat indexes with 90+% RH) and multiple splits of two of her main branches at the trunk, and yet has grown into the 'Beast from the East' reaching over EIGHT feet in height and spreading her branches out to an enormous SIX foot diameter! Our weather has cooled off after last weeks tropical system passed and it's nice to have a much needed break from the heat and humidity! 8/15- I am continuing to water daily with 5-8 gallons of well water from the garden hose. Today, I top dressed the Wedding Cheesecake FF with 3 cups of Gaia Green 2-8-4 Power Bloom which I watered in with well water from the hose. I then applied 1/2 gallon of a nutrient mix I made up in 2 1/2g of well water consisting of: 1/4 cup Neptune's Harvest Seaweed(kelp) plant food and 2 1/2 tsp. of Plantonics Amino Bliss. While I was under the canopy I also removed a bunch of scraggly small, thin branches that were anywhere from 12" to 20" long and would never had amounted to anything worthwhile. 8/17- We had a couple of passing light rain showers today which didn't provide a lot of rain so I went ahead and watered the Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower with approximately 5g of well water just to make sure that she didn't get thirsty. 8/19- Thunderstorms yesterday and today have taken care of my watering duties and all I really had to do today is to remove some yellowed and dead leaves throughout the canopy. There's the second week of flower on the books for the FastBuds Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower and I anticipate that she'll really start to take off in the next week or two so hold on, this could be a wild ride!๐Ÿคฏ Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! ๐Ÿ’šGrowers Love!๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ™

Purple Kush Autoflower - Smylin Pupil
There isnโ€™t a ton to report this week other than the two behind my garage are on their stretch, and the one in the garden is bulking up. It has been raining a lot here, I gave all two big dosages of cal/mag and tiger bloom. I figured most of the nutrients were washing through the soil. I havenโ€™t noticed any nute burns, so Iโ€™ll likely keep feeding them once a week. I did some bud backbuilding on my garden plant about a week ago, because the other two didnโ€™t look as developed, i snipped the tip of the buds on the other two about two days ago. I think overall I should have a pretty good yield this summer, I wish I had a bit more purple buds, but hey๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Purple kush none the less. Iโ€™m signing out for the week, thanks for tuning in. Cheers.

Pheno B Black Diamond Auto By Zamnesia
๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 14 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia โ€“ Pheno B ๐Ÿ‘‘ Big Mama's Next Chapter: From Beast to Frozen Treasure! ?๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒธ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And today, my friendsโ€ฆ We need to talk about Big Mama. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ‘‘ Our other Black Diamond. Our heavyweight. Our beautiful beast. The girl who never really needed to be the tallest, the prettiest, or the most delicate plant in the room to make herself noticed. She simply showed up, built herself into a magnificent plant, and made sure we knew she was there. And nowโ€ฆ Her time in the tent is over. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟโœ‚๏ธ Just like her sister, Black Diamond Auto Pheno A, Big Mama reached the point where it was time to move into the next chapter. Two sisters. Two different seeds. Two different expressions. One genetic family. And, in the endโ€ฆ TWO ABSOLUTE BEASTS. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’Ž But although their stories are similar, they haven't been identical. And that's exactly why I wanted to document them separately. Today, we're looking back at Big Mama's journey, explaining what happened after harvest, showing some of the photographs and statistics we managed to capture, and introducing the next stage of her adventure. Because this girl hasn't disappeared. She's simply moving into a different chapter. And this time, we're taking a little detour into the world of ice, water, and bubble hash. ?๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ But before anybody gets too excitedโ€ฆ Let's start at the beginning. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ข FIRST, A LITTLE EXPLANATION ABOUT THIS REPORT You might notice that this update is still being published under a flowering week rather than as a dedicated harvest report. And you might also notice something elseโ€ฆ There aren't as many photographs of Big Mama as there were of her sister. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ Both things have an explanation. First, GrowDiaries has a limit of 30 photographs per update, and our harvest documentation can quickly go beyond that limit when we include the final plant photographs, trimming, drying, weighing, and smoke review. Second, GrowDiaries doesn't provide a dedicated section specifically for documenting the extraction process we're planning to follow with Big Mama. So, rather than trying to squeeze everything into one update or leave out important parts of the story, we're using the available diary structure to keep documenting the journey. Depending on how many photographs and details we have to share, we may continue this story in the current week or create another update to give the next stage enough room. The goal is simple: Keep the documentation clear. Keep the photographs. Keep the story together. And don't leave out the interesting bits just because the platform's categories don't perfectly match what we're doing. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ As for the smaller collection of photographsโ€ฆ Well, I have a confession. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ It was late. Actually, it was almost morning by the time I got around to her sister's harvest work, and by the time I reached Big Mama, the photographic energy was not quite what it had been earlier. The girl still got her attention. The work still got done. But the camera didn't get quite as much attention as it did with Pheno A. So yes, we have fewer photographs. That's the honest explanation. Sometimes the grower has a plan, the plants have their own schedule, and the clock decides to join the experiment. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐ŸŒ™ But fewer photographs don't mean a less important story. Big Mama deserves her own report, her own explanation, and her own spotlight. And that's exactly what we're doing. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’Ž TWO SISTERS, TWO SEEDS, TWO BEASTS Let's take a moment to look back at how we got here. Black Diamond Auto Pheno B was part of our 8ร—8 Adventure, where twelve plants shared the same general environment, lighting schedule, and overall approach to care. She grew under a 12/12 light schedule from seed, just like the other plants in this experiment. And throughout the journey, she developed her own personality. Her sister, Pheno A, had that striking appearance that kept making me stop and take another photograph. Big Mama? She brought her own kind of presence. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’Ž She became a substantial plant, carrying beautiful flowers throughout her structure and eventually requiring support to help manage the weight. The yo-yos became part of the story. The flowers continued to develop. The plant kept making herself noticed. And week after week, she showed us that she wasn't simply going to be a copy of her sister. They may share the same genetic name, but they have their own individual expressions. And that's one of the things I love most about following individual phenotypes. You start with seeds. You provide a shared environment. You document the journey. And then you watch the plants show you who they are. Pheno A gave us one beautiful story. Pheno B gave us another. And now both girls have reached the end of their time in the tent. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ Two Black Diamonds. Two different personalities. Two beautiful plants. And two harvest stories worth documenting. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ GOODBYE, BIG MAMA โ€” THE TENT CHAPTER IS OVER If you've been following her diary, you'll know that Big Mama wasn't exactly a shy girl. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ She had presence. She had structure. She had beautiful flowers. And she had enough weight to keep the yo-yo department employed. Her story was never just about how tall she grew or how much space she occupied. It was about how she developed, how her flowers formed, and how differently she expressed herself compared with her sister. That's what made her interesting. And when it was time to harvest, we moved into the next stage. We took her down, broke her down, and prepared the material for the direction we wanted to take with this particular harvest. But unlike her sister's report, which focused heavily on the studio photography and photo stacking, Big Mama's next chapter is going to explore something different. We're preparing her material for a planned bubble hash project. ?๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž And that's where things get interesting. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โœ‚๏ธ WHAT HAPPENED AFTER HARVEST? Once Big Mama was harvested, I broke the plant down and removed the unwanted leaves. The aim was to separate the material we wanted to keep from the leaves and other parts we didn't want included in the next stage. I then bagged the prepared material, vacuum-sealed it, and placed it in the freezer. Yesโ€ฆ Big Mama is currently enjoying a little holiday in the freezer. ๐Ÿ˜‚?๐Ÿ‘‘ Not quite the luxurious spa treatment she might have imagined, but that's where she is while we prepare for the next chapter. The material is frozen and waiting for the colder days ahead, when we'll continue with the planned ice-water extraction project. This is a different direction from simply following the traditional dried-flower route, and I'm looking forward to documenting the process properly. For now, the preparation has been done. The material has been bagged. It's vacuum-sealed. It's frozen. And we're waiting for the next stage. ?๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ We haven't completed the extraction yet, so this report isn't going to pretend that we have a final result. Instead, we're showing what we've done so far and explaining what comes next. That's how I like to document these projects. One step at a time. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ? WHAT IS BUBBLE HASH, AND WHY ARE WE GOING THIS ROUTE? For anyone unfamiliar with the term, bubble hash is a type of cannabis concentrate made by separating resin-rich trichome material from plant material using ice water and filtration. The name comes from the way well-made material can bubble when exposed to heat, although the quality and behaviour depend on the starting material and the final product. The basic concept is that trichomes are separated from the plant material, and the resulting material is collected through filtration. It isn't the same thing as simply drying and trimming flowers. It isn't the same thing as collecting resin from a glove. And it isn't automatically the same thing as charas. These are different materials made through different processes, even though they all relate to the resin produced by the plant. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ In Big Mama's case, the next stage we're planning is an ice-water extraction using water, ice, and a washing setup. We'll document the actual process in the next report, including the equipment, what we observe, the collected material, and how the results look. We'll also show how we handle the drying stage for the collected hash and discuss what happens afterwards. For now, we're introducing the project rather than jumping ahead to results we haven't produced yet. And honestly, I think that's the best way to do it. You get to follow the story from the preparation through to the final outcome. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ BUBBLE HASH IS NOT JUST ANOTHER NAME FOR RESIN I want to make this distinction clear because the terminology can sometimes get mixed together. The sticky resin we saw on the glove during Big Mama's breakdown was a visible reminder of the resin on the freshly harvested plant. That doesn't automatically make the material on the glove finished bubble hash, nor does it mean that every kind of collected resin is the same product. Bubble hash refers to a specific type of concentrate produced through ice-water separation and filtration. The material we have frozen right now is the prepared starting material for the project. The washing and filtration have not happened yet. So we're not calling it finished bubble hash at this stage. We're simply preparing for that next chapter. ?๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฑ And when we get there, we'll show you what happened rather than asking you to take our word for it. That's the whole point of documenting the process. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ FEWER PHOTOS, BUT STILL A STORY WORTH TELLING I know there aren't as many photographs of Big Mama's harvest as there were of her sister. And yes, I would have loved to capture more. But sometimes the timing simply doesn't work out the way we planned. By the time I got to Big Mama, it was almost morning. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒ™ The important thing is that we still have photographs showing parts of the process, including the prepared material, the vacuum-sealed bags, and the weighing. Those images help us document what happened rather than simply writing that we did it. We also have photographs from earlier in her journey that show the beautiful plant she became. Together, they tell the story. The flowering photographs show the plant. The harvest photographs show the transition. The bagging and weighing photographs document the preparation. And the next set will show what happens when we move into the ice-water extraction project. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž Not every chapter needs the same number of photographs. What matters is that we capture the details that help explain the journey. And Big Mama's story is still very much worth telling. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš–๏ธ THE NUMBERS MATTER TOO Alongside the photographs, we've included some of the measurements and weighing information we managed to capture during this stage. Those details are useful because they help us keep a record of what happened rather than relying entirely on memory. The photographs give us the visual story. The numbers add another piece of the record. And as the project continues, we'll have more information to add. For now, I don't want to invent or estimate figures that aren't clearly established in the available documentation. We'll use the recorded values where they're available and keep the next report focused on the actual results of the process. That's how I want these diaries to work. Show what happened. Share what we observed. Keep the record honest. And let the results speak for themselves. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ“ธโš–๏ธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ? THE FREEZER IS JUST THE BEGINNING At the moment, Big Mama's prepared material is vacuum-sealed and frozen. The next planned chapter is the ice-water washing process, where we'll document the separation and collection stage. After that, we'll have the collected material to assess and the drying stage to document. And later, we'll discuss what happens with the finished result. So there's still plenty to come. This isn't a finished extraction report. It isn't a final yield report. And it certainly isn't the smoke review. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž We're at the preparation stage. The next chapter will cover the actual washing project, and we'll explain the process as it happens, including the filtration, the collected material, and the drying. We'll also share what we learn along the way. Because that's what makes these experiments interesting. We don't need to pretend we know the result before we begin. We can prepare, document, observe, and report what actually happens. And that's exactly what we're going to do with Big Mama. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก A QUICK LOOK BACK AT THE 8ร—8 ENVIRONMENT Before we move on, let's remember the environment in which Big Mama grew. She was part of the 8ร—8 Adventure, where the plants shared the same general room conditions and the 12/12 schedule from seed. The expanded lighting setup included the two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures, with the output controlled rather than simply running everything at maximum. We were targeting approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy, with actual intensity varying according to canopy position and plant height. Lumiflora provided additional lighting deeper in the canopy, while TrolMaster helped us monitor and manage the room environment. The room's general conditions during the recent flowering updates were around: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: approximately 26.5ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: approximately 26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity: approximately 61% ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: approximately 25ยฐC โš—๏ธ Nutrient solution pH: approximately 6.02 โšก Nutrient solution EC: approximately 2.14 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: approximately 693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 These are the recent room references from the flowering stage, not the conditions of the separate drying space. Big Mama has now moved out of that room, and her next stage is being documented separately. The rest of the 8ร—8 is still going. The other plants are continuing their own journeys. And we're not changing their stories just because Big Mama has reached harvest. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ SAME GENETIC FAMILY, DIFFERENT EXPRESSIONS This is another reason I wanted to give Big Mama her own report. If you followed Pheno A, you saw one expression of Black Diamond Auto. If you follow Pheno B, you see another. They shared the same general growing environment, but they didn't become identical plants. One caught my eye more visually. The other became Big Mama, with her own substantial structure and personality. And that's perfectly fine. I don't need every plant to look the same. I don't need every phenotype to be my favourite. I want to see the differences. I want to document them. I want to learn from them. And I want to be honest about what I see. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ‘‘ Two seeds. Two sisters. Two beasts. Two different stories. And now, two different harvest journeys. Pheno A has her own harvest and photography story. Pheno B has her own preparation and planned bubble hash project. Both deserve to be documented properly. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’š THE REST OF THE ROOM IS STILL GROWING One more important point before we close this update. Big Mama has been harvested, but the rest of the room has not. The other plants are still growing, developing, and following their own timelines. The 8ร—8 Adventure continues. We'll keep sharing their individual updates, their differences, their progress, and their own milestones. That's the beauty of this project. We don't force every plant into the same schedule just because they're sharing a room. Each plant gets to show us what she does. And when she's ready for the next stage, we document that too. Big Mama has reached her moment. Now we'll follow her through the next part of the journey while the others continue to shine in the tent. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฑ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฎ WHAT COMES NEXT FOR BIG MAMA? The next chapter is all about the ice-water extraction project. We'll be documenting the washing process, the separation and filtration, the collected material, and the drying stage. We'll also discuss the results and what we decide to do with the finished material afterwards. The actual outcome will determine what we can honestly report. For now, the material is bagged, vacuum-sealed, and waiting in the freezer. The next stage hasn't happened yet. And I'm looking forward to showing you how it unfolds. ?๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ This is another side of the growing journey that I enjoy documenting. The plant doesn't stop being interesting when it leaves the tent. There are still decisions to make, things to observe, and plenty to learn. So stay tuned. Big Mama's story has moved beyond flowering, but it isn't finished. Not even close. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’Ž โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ญ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€” BIG MAMA HAS LEFT THE TENT, BUT SHE'S NOT DONE WITH US Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia โ€“ Pheno B. Our Big Mama. Our heavyweight. Our beautiful beast. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ I must confess that I would have liked to take more photographs during her harvest. It was late. Almost morning, actually. And by the time I got to her, the photographic session wasn't quite as extensive as the one I had done with her sister. But the work was done. The material was prepared. The unwanted leaves were removed. Everything was bagged, vacuum-sealed, and placed in the freezer, ready for the next stage. And now we're preparing to document a different part of her journey. The planned ice-water washing process. The filtration. The collected material. The drying. And eventually, what comes after. ?๐Ÿ’Ž We still have plenty to share. So please don't consider this the end of Big Mama's story. It's simply the end of her time in the flowering tent. Two Black Diamond sisters. Two different seeds. Two completely different expressions.

But Big Mama? She has her own story. And she's getting her own spotlight. We're going to keep documenting the process, share the results honestly, and make sure her journey doesn't disappear simply because she's no longer standing in the tent. Thank you for following along. And stay tuned, because the next chapter is going to be a little different from our usual flowering updates.

We have growers with different levels of experience, different setups, different interests, and different ways of approaching this plant. And that's exactly how we like it. You don't need to be an expert. You don't need to have the biggest garden. You don't need to know every technical term. You don't even need to be the person who talks the most. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š You can ask questions. You can share your experiences. You can show your projects. You can learn from other people. Or you can simply join, listen, and enjoy being part of the community. There's no experience level you need to reach before you're welcome. You just need to be respectful and be yourself. We love talking about this plant, sharing knowledge, comparing experiences, and learning from one another. And above all, we want this to feel like a community. Almost like family. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿค We also have discount codes available for the community, competitions where members can win prizes, and giveaways along the way. But honestly, the best part isn't a discount or a prize. It's the people. The conversations. The laughs. The questions. The willingness to help one another. And the feeling that you can join in without needing to prove anything. Everyone is more than welcome. So if you're looking for a friendly place to talk about growing, learn something new, share your own experiences, or simply hang out with people who understand why we can spend hours talking about plantsโ€ฆ Come say hello! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ ๐Ÿ‘‰ Join the DogDoctorOfficial Discord community: https://discord.gg/dogdoctorofficial We'd love to see you there. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’Ž TWO SISTERS.

I didn't weigh them wet...never do...but the dry weight was 430g for both plants! Plant A: 229g Plant B: 201g Very heavy, very resinous, very tasty...awesome ganja! I pressed a few ounces of it for the rosin, and it yields very very well. Final thoughts: My favorite strain from this grow. Not quite as tasty as the Zenzations, but the yield was spectacular and it's muy potente! Yield: 10/10 Potency: 9/10 Flavor: 8/10 Aroma: 9/10 Density: 10/10 Resin production: 10/10 Muchas gracias, Sweet Seeds!

The girls have performed very well this week! The LST began, and there was some great growth in side branching. I also started this week off with introducing them to some nutrients โค๏ธ Start of week 4, the girls had responded well to transplanting, so I decided to start with some LST. My main method is to use soft wire wraps (dollar store purchase!) I poke one hole in the side of the pot near the top, and then go directly opposite that hole and poke through to make another. The first hole is for a wire wrap to secure the base of the seedling from pulling right out or over too far. The other hole is for the direction you want to bend your plant to. I start by slowly working the stem between my fingers at the point where I want it to bend. Twisting and pinching slowly so not to snap. *wait a day or two after your last water, or it will be easier to snap* once itโ€™s ready to flop, I use the wire tie to hold down the top of the plant as close as I can to the nearest shoots. Iโ€™ll usually leave the plant like this for a couple of days, adjusting the ties, and then take them off to let them recover . Watered with a small dose of the full line I will be using for this grow. The girls got about 500 ml at the beginning of the week, but 2 days in I could tell they wanted more. By the end of the week they are taking nearly 1/2 gallon (which will give me 10% runoff) At the end of the week I increased the intensity of the BP2500 to 190 watts at the wall and the girls did show a few wrinkles as they adjusted, but have quickly recovered. I havenโ€™t topped these girls, and Iโ€™m not sure if I am going toโ€ฆ thoughts? Happy Gardening ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆโค๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ’จ

Ya estamos en proceso de formaciรณn de la flor. Se ven algunas mรกs grandes que otras. Pero a grandes rasgos estan muy parejas. Me preocupa un poco la cercanรญa a la luz, dado que estoy en 15cm y cualquier estirรณn extra, serรญa una complicaciรณn. Vamos a ir viendo como se dan las cosas, pero al momento, no me puedo quejar. Las plantas se ven bien y saludables. Dรญa 24. Se empieza a notar el engorde. Esperando a que aparezcan las hojas de azรบcar, que ya se empiezan a visibilizar las primeras. Voy a ver si puedo conseguir overdrive de advanced para cuando se terminen de formar las flores. Entre tanto solamente tuve un inconveniente de pรฉrdida de agua por una manguera que movรญ al atar las plantas, pero ya repuse la soluciรณn perdida y todo va encaminado. No sรฉ si van a tardar las 6 semanas que dice el catรกlogo, pero cuanto mucho serรกn 8. Seguirรฉ actualizando. Dรญa 26. Las flores empiezan a yomar su forma voluminosa. Estoy en duda sobre si agregar PK la semana prรณxima o la otra. Quizรก empiece a usarlo en el prรณximo depรณsito. No quiero tampoco sobrepasarlas y agregar el producto antes porque tengo entendido que puede ser contraproducente. De todos modos me quedan dos dรญas para el cambio de soluciรณn, asรญ que voy a ver cuando termine la semana. Entre tanto, ya empiezan las emociones. Dรญa 28. Hice ina poda de hojas bien fuerte. Ya de esa forma dejo expuesto a la luz todo lo que tiene que terminar de engordar y de paso me esquivo posibles problemas de humedad. Al final voy a usar el PK de greenhouse que tengo, pero voy a subir la dosis. Maรฑana se viene el cambio de soluciรณn, para lo que serรญa la ante รบltima semana en teorรญa. Vamos a ver como evoluciona, porque los cambios son muy abruptos de una semana a la otra. Y llegado el momento mirarรฉ los tricomas, como para ir haciรฉndome a la idea.

Permanent marker

This Permanent Marker is a smaller plant, only about 4 inches tall. But what it lacks in size, it makes up for in those super distinct wide leaves that make it a standout. While it's a steady grower, it does have a big appetite, always seeming to need more nutrients. The other Permanent Marker plant is also around 4 inches, but it's growing much faster than the other one. Its super skinny, pointy leaves are what really make it stand out from the rest. At 1st I thought this plant was going to be a dud but is starting to out pace the other plant. Happy late turkey day grow diaries world!!!! It's now day 24 from seed for all the seedlings I have going. The past few days the plants have really started to take off. There roots have really started to dig in. Every other water I am still giving 2ml per gal of fox farm grow big. I keep having to tell myself not to add any more nutes other than that. I don't want to fry my plants but I also want they to start jumping. I'm quite excited for the coming week, I think the next 7 days or so is when the plant really starts to transform and look more like a pot plant than just some random little green thing. A few days ago I decided to move the plants from under my 55w cheep amazon light to under my spider farmer 100w newer version light with the good leds in it. The plants will hopefully be ready to up pot them here soon and get them in the large tent. Sometimes when growing multiple different strains it can be really hard to balance giving to much or to little light. You don't want the faster growing plants to get to stretched out waiting on the slower plants to catch up I spend Thanksgiving day morning transplanting the plants into 2gal pots. I am useing spme promix potting soil it's my 1st time tring this soil. It is actually doing really well the roots were all white and nice looking. I think next time I'm going to add some worm casting, kelp, granular mycos, and a little bit extra perlite. I just didn't have the money with christmas coming to splurge for all the extra stuff. I got rid of 2 plants 1 of the bubble og and 1 skunk apple runtz. There is only room for 10 pots in the 2x4 tent. I will peob only bring 8 of them to flower, always good to have back ups. Yesterday I also stuck the plants back under the 500w medicgrow mini sun 2 in my 2x4 tent. They did great under it the 2nd half the day I was happy they didn't get stressed. I had put them under that light a little early about 10 days ago or so. I am expecting in a week these plants will ge going crazy with growth
