I think she was locking out nutrients or something. She has stayed very dark, and it was taking a long time for her to mature. But now that she is being flushed, she's filling in and growing nicely. Very resinous and looks like she's gonna be dense

Week 8 is finally here! We changed up the nutrient feeding to the week 8 on the feed chart. I am diluting everything at a 50-40% rate to keep EC within acceptable ranges of 0.8 - 1.1 EC. I started adding Terpinator to the mix and I do notice a significant smell increase vs. without it. I am going to keep using this as I think it is a great supplement. I did figure out that even though on the bottle and on the specific feed chart, it says it is a light formula that will have minimal impact on EC and will not burn your plants at the recommended rates - it will! First time mixing up my nutrients with terpinator, I had to dilute it because the EC was too high. I put the recommended amount in my mix, and checked EC and low and behold it was high. The next feeding I did a 50% dilution rate and that seemed to be ok if you are diluting your other inputs properly to compensate. ALWAYS make sure your EC and PH are in check prior to fertigating your plants. I am watching the trichomes on a daily basis and am looking to harvest sometime this week or next. I plan to dry it in the tent it is growing in as it has AC and good airflow. Once they are done drying, they will get trimmed up, lightly vacuum sealed and stored in the freezer. Updates will be coming throughout the week!

🌱 Black Diamond Auto – Plant B | Week 4 | 12/12 From Seed Another Diamond Begins to Show Its Shape 💎 Welcome back to another update from my 8×8 Adventure, where every plant gets the opportunity to tell its own story. This is Black Diamond Auto – Plant B, the sister of Plant A. While they share the same genetics, the same environment, the same feeding schedule and the same light, it’s already fascinating to watch how differently they choose to grow. Plant B has developed into a much more compact structure. She isn’t chasing height like her sister—instead she’s building a dense, symmetrical framework with tight internodal spacing and a very healthy canopy. Sometimes the smallest plants surprise us the most once flowering really begins. Both plants are being grown under my favorite challenge: 12/12 from seed. For those joining the diary for the first time, this means the plants have been under a 12 hours on / 12 hours off light schedule from the day they germinated. Instead of spending weeks in vegetative growth under 18 or 20 hours of light, they naturally transition into flowering much sooner, creating unique plant structures while allowing more harvests throughout the year. Every run teaches something new, and this comparison between two sisters should be another interesting chapter. ⸻ 🌱 Environment This week the room remained very stable despite the summer temperatures. • Day temperature: 33°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 63% • pH: 6.1 • EC: 1.35 mS/cm • CO₂: 639 ppm The plants continue growing inside 15 L pots, receiving approximately 1.1 L of nutrient solution per day. ⸻ 💧 Hand-Watering vs AutoPot Unlike her sister, Plant B is still being hand-watered. Both plants receive exactly the same nutrient recipe, but the irrigation method is different. This should make for an interesting comparison later in the grow. Hand-watering gives me complete control over when and how much solution she receives, allowing the substrate to go through gentle wet and dry cycles before each irrigation. Her sister, meanwhile, is growing inside an AutoPot system. The AutoPot uses an AquaValve, a clever mechanical valve that automatically opens and closes depending on the water level inside the tray. As the plant drinks, the valve refills the tray without pumps, electricity or timers, allowing the roots to take exactly what they need whenever they need it. Will continuous bottom feeding produce faster growth than traditional hand-watering? That’s one of the questions this grow hopes to answer. ⸻ 🌿 Training No topping. No supercropping. No heavy stress. This week has been all about Low Stress Training (LST). Branches continue being gently bent outward to improve light penetration across the canopy while maintaining an even structure. Every day I spend a few minutes adjusting stems, leaf tucking large fan leaves and opening small windows of light for the developing side branches. It’s amazing how much a few careful adjustments can change the architecture of a plant without causing any significant stress. The goal is simple: * create an even canopy * expose future flowering sites * maximize airflow * let every branch earn its place under the LEDs Plant B has responded beautifully, staying compact while becoming wider with every passing day. ⸻ 🌸 The First Signs of Flower By the end of Week 4 the first pistils are finally appearing. This is always one of my favorite moments in a 12/12 from seed project. The transition happens naturally, almost quietly, until one morning those first white hairs appear and you know the next chapter has officially begun. Stretch is only beginning, but her structure suggests she’ll remain shorter and bushier than Plant A. Two sisters. Same genetics. Same room. Same nutrients. Yet completely different personalities. That’s exactly why I love documenting every individual plant. ⸻ 🍽️ Feeding This week’s recipe remained simple and consistent: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L EC remained at 1.35, with pH adjusted to 6.1 before every watering. She continues responding with vigorous growth, healthy color and strong new shoots throughout the canopy. ⸻ 📸 Final Thoughts Watching siblings develop side by side is one of the most rewarding parts of growing. Plant A seems determined to become the taller, more vigorous sister. Plant B is taking a different path—shorter, denser and incredibly well balanced. Neither is better. They’re simply expressing different sides of the same genetics, and that’s exactly what makes these side-by-side diaries so enjoyable. The stretch has only just begun, flowering is officially underway, and I’m excited to see whether hand-watering can keep pace with the AutoPot system over the coming weeks. Only time—and plenty of photos—will tell. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You As always, thank you to everyone following this adventure from around the world. To GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers can learn from one another. To Plagron for the nutrients that continue feeding this project. To the incredible breeders behind Black Diamond Auto. To the teams behind the LEDs, the equipment and every tool helping make this grow possible. And finally, thank you to every person who stops by these diaries. Whether you’ve been here since day one, discovered the journey this week, leave comments, ask questions, share advice, quietly read along, or even challenge my methods—you all contribute to making this project better. Every interaction is another opportunity to learn, improve and keep growing together. Growers Love and see you all next week. Happy growing. 🌱💚

2018-04-03. Week 22, day 3. Remo Nr 1 is doing fantastic and she is a big and massive beauty. The flowers/buds is growing bigger and bigger and smells strong of summer and earth. I think she will yield a lot by the look of her right now. Nr1 have grown 3 cm in height last week. Nr 2 is still recovering and she is getting better but still dont look that good, but the flowers grows and you can start smelling her more and more. I have faith in this girl and that she will produce some nice medicine. Strain information. Remo Chemo cannabis seeds by Dinafem Seeds belong to a feminised Indica-dominant marijuana plant born from a collaboration with the legendary Canadian cannabis grower Urban Remo, a real high-flyer within the international cannabis field. Remo Chemo, created by Urban Remo after crossing a UBC Chemo with a regular Bubba Kush male, is the genetics selected for developing this project. The results obtained when testing a cutting of such magnificent cross were so amazing that we backcrossed her to ensure the genetics was not diluted but remained pure and intact. With this creation, we’ve managed to make Urban Remo’s favourite cannabis strain accessible to all: a potent and stable strain, with major therapeutic properties and high THC content. One of the strains within this marijuana seed's genetic structure, UBC Chemo, is a really potent strain that, according to legend, was developed by some researchers from the University of British Columbia with the objective of alleviating the side effects of chemotherapy in cancer patients. Her extremely high THC levels not only make her a must for cannabis gourmets with a liking for mind-blowing genetics but they also confer a myriad of therapeutic properties on her. In fact, her effectiveness in relieving the back pain he is in contributes to her being Urban Remo’s favourite marijuana strain. His YouTube channel has lots of subscribers and his strain reviews have become indispensable for most marijuana users. At Dinafem, we had long been itching to work with him. Therefore, we didn’t hesitate when the opportunity came up. When travelling to Europe, this world-renowned cannabis activist was surprised by the lack of Canadian cannabis genetics at international fairs. That’s why we decided to join forces with Remo and create a Canadian feminised strain that bears his name. Morphology Remo Chemo is a dense and sturdy Indica-dominant plant that must be evenly pruned, low branches included. At the end of the flowering, her dark-green leaves tend to acquire purplish hues which are sometimes so dark as to seem almost black. A real sight to behold. Yielding capacity Without her being particularly heavy-yielding, Remo Chemo’s crops are really potent, which balances the final outcome. Her buds are round, uniform and compact, noted for their remarkable density and amazing resin count. On top of that, the THC levels are high, easily exceeding the 20 %. Cultivation Remo Chemo thrives when grown in dry environments and provided with intense light. Thanks to the legacy of Bubba Kush, the lack of water is not a problem for her. However, if we want to boost her yielding properties, she’d better be well hydrated. As for the right amount of nutrients, we must ensure our plants are not overfed since this could be detrimental to the flavour’s intensity. Aromas and flavours The predominant scent is that of a classic Kush, i.e., strong and intense, lingering long in the palate and bringing to mind the typical classic Californian flavours. If we’re to be more precise, she also delivers hints of earth, petrol and black pepper. Her taste and aroma are simply delicious, almost instantly captivating those who smell her. Results Remo Chemo delivers a potent effect that, thanks to her high THC levels, helps alleviate the side effects of cancer treatment (vomiting and nausea), boosts the appetite and reduces pain. But Remo Chemo can be used for recreational purposes as well, with a really intense physical high. No doubt her effect being so amazingly psychoactive will delight THC-lovers. 1st prize −Indica category− at the 2017 Expogrow Cup. 1st prize −Indica category− at the 2017 Karma Cup (Canada).

🇩🇪🏆**Grow Report by Zuppler - Week 4 Flowering Phase** 👸🏼 Ayo, what’s good fam? Zuppler back at it with that Week 4 flowering update. The grow room is lit right now, and these ladies are showin' out. I ain’t change much this week – just raised the lights up a bit to give ‘em some more headspace and went ahead and snipped off a few more of them lower branches. Ain’t nobody got time for them popcorn buds, feel me? The canopy’s lookin’ tight, main colas gettin’ chunky, just how I like it. All that energy’s goin’ straight to the top, so we’re stackin' up some serious weight. And yo, that one plant up front on the left? She’s a real keeper, no doubt. She’s standin’ out like a queen, buds frosty as a winter morning in the Panhandle. I’m already knowin’ she’s gonna be the star of the show. Everything’s still on point – temps, humidity, and the girls are drinkin’ up that RO water and Advanced Nutrients like it’s a cold drink on a hot day. Ain’t no stressin', no deficiencies, just straight fire in the making. It’s all about lettin’ ‘em swell now, and I can already tell this harvest ‘bout to be a banger. That front-left queen’s gonna be a real standout. Zuppler signin’ off. Keep it lit, fam!

Buds really starting to smell amazing and sweet 🙂 shockwave f2's smelling really nice 👍🏻♥️ tent seems to get bigger by the day.. ⚡⚡🌱⚡⚡ 3 weeks left till the great chop 🙂 can't wait..

Day 57. They are running amazingly good, will leave for 7-8 days more, trim heavy, defoliate and will put them into main tent. I need this space for drying ... Today only pure water, next time I will give them feed . Happy Growing !!!

Update week 2 of Bloom

welcome back brother its week 3 and they look perfect =) they are now between 22-27 cm high which means it is time to flip them flower period starts at 04.02 see you next week

Day 49-56 (Day 50) I hooked up my carbon filter to the humidity controller and it is keeping the room exactly at 65-70% RH night and day. It looks like it turns on about every 45 minutes for about 5 minutes so it allows me to run the co2 bag properly. I don’t even have to use my dehumidifier. The room is 100% dark now too. Even the small red lights on the space heaters. Not going to feed anything other than foliars this week. (Day 51) Blackberry #4 & #8 #9 and white widows #2 & #3 are all confirmed males. Chopped them down and recycled the soil. White widow #1 is the first official female and I’m starting to see pistils on the m39/zkittlez too. Plants seem to be responding to the light fairly well. It’s hung 32 inches above the canopy which is as high as it can go without strapping it to the roof, which may have to happen one day. The plant can get within 6 inches of the light so I’m probably good. The ppfd output is 1800umols which is super high so I want to hang them as high as possible in veg. I wish I could rent a ppfd meter to see if I’m in range at 32”. (Day 52) Blackberry breath #3 is the first official bbb female to show. I decided to scrap BCTG #2. It sounded like a good strain but after looking at pictures of people who have grown it online, it doesn’t look up to my standards. I found a very small patch of powdery mildew on one of the leaves so I’m not even going to start with that shit again. I’m really thinking about scrapping the m39/zkittlez and the white widow too. I’m praying that I get at least 4 females of BBB. I tried super cropping for the first time today. A few of the branches I definitely squished a bit too much as they turned quite brown and looked dead within a day. (Day 53) Despite the m39/zkittlez vigorous growth, I know it will be a shitty strain that will most likely herm as it’s from a bag seed of low grade weed. I’ve decided instead of scrapping it, I will use it for experimenting with a new chemical powdery mildew preventative. If it dies oh well. I doused it and chopped a limb off a few hours ago during lights on and it seems fine. (Day 54) I’m about 90% sure BBB 6&7 are both female. #2 & #5 are looking like males but too early too tell. #1 is really tough to say. Just gotta be patient I guess. #3 has a great spread out structure, I hope it doesn’t stretch too much. The scrogging is a priority. I put up the scrog net just to see how it fits. It’s a little small around the edges but that’s fine. So it’s looking like out the 9, I would be lucky to get 4 fems if #1 & 7 would show forsure already. If #1 is a female I have my 4 and I can throw out the white widow. The white widow is just insurance at this point. Super cropped plants have recovered nicely. Going to continue doing this more. I’ve noticed that the plants that were put into my custom soil mix have very small fan leaves compared to the fabric pots of straight promix and dry amendments. Could also be the fabric pot is helping dry downs too. (Day 56) I’m seeing some yellowing so I’m going to give a foliar spray just too keep some deficiencies at bay. All of the plants are stunted except the m39 and bbb#3. Node spacing has also reduced significantly. I can’t help but feel it’s from the intensity of my lights but maybe they just need a transplant into some new soil something. Luckily the stunt and droop is only really happening to what I suspect are male plants anyway. Leaves are looking twisted and gnarled on #5. Going to move it into the veg tent for a while. I’m going to mix up and amend my Destiny/coco blend today and transplant bbb#3 and 6 & 7 in a few days. I mixed them up in contractor bags making sure to toss and turn vigorously. Here is my blend: 2 bags 40L Destiny soil 2 bags 40L coco 700ml glacial rock dust 700ml oyster shell flour 700ml nature’s pride bloom 300ml basalt rock dust 150ml langbeinite 150ml nature’s pride veg I am also going to try the Destiny top dress as it’s only 13 bucks a bag and full of good shit. I’m trying to not feed heavy in flower other than 2 or 3 top dresses and 2 teas and nothing after week 5. Because it’s taken so long for the plants to show sex, when I transplant into the 10 gallon pots, they should have more than enough nutrients too keep them going strong all the way through flower with just water. I’m a little skeptical about that though. Besides teas and dressings are fun. Everything should be broken down by week 8 or so. Will transplant in a few days.

Smooth sailing as of now, couldn't be happier with how this run is turning out.

Following full strength full line of Cyco Nutrients feeding chart now and they seem to be growing Healthy and at a steady pace finishing up week 2 of feeding chart

She’s a little slower growing but still no issues.

Replacement seeds not fairing well lol but chosen mothers are thriving

Final week shes getting flushed with cold rainwater and will finish in a cold room to get the fade dark

🍀06/07 - Empieza su sexta semana en etapa de floración. 🍀Se encuentra perfecta, se desarrollo muy rapido. 🍀Se encuentra llena de tricomas por todos lados, es increíble lo nevada que esta. 🍀En tres semanas aprox ya tengo pensando podarla, por el momento viene todo bien. 🍀Algunas hojas que se encuentran abajo de toda la planta se encuentran un poco amarillas, eso es porque tuve q cambiar de lado los paneles de led porque creció demasiado alto, los próximos cultivos voy a estar usando la red de scrog. 🍀En estos dias seguire subiendo imaganes de como se encuentra. 🍀😶‍🌫️🇦🇷Podes seguirme en Insta gram como @bruweed_arg🍀😶‍🌫️🇦🇷

Всем привет! Вот и прошла ещё одна неделя. Растение растёт и развивается. Шишки наливаются. Стоит очень интресный аромат, с фруктовыми нотами.
