Officially week 7 Dec 31: Came back a week later to very heavy pots, needed 36 hour drying period, not happy, smaller plant has tips of leaves curling down, some like taco, dryed out the pots and went back to normal conservative feeding, need to fine tune the auto irrigation setup before I use it again for sure. All in all, nothing crazy happened. Really cool to see a plant be small, but way bigger after a week of vacation. First grow seems to be going pretty good! PS: I think my hygrometer is broken, saying 85-100% RA even when I significantly improve airflow and it doesn't seem anywhere near that. Gonna do the salt paste test on the hygrometer . Jan 1: I recalibrated my hygrometer and it’s working great, weird leaf curling of smaller plant still happening but seems to be improving, big plant is frosty and fat for week 7, seems to be at same stage in development as smaller plant but the pheno is beautiful.

WEEK 2 DAY 14 Since last week the babies have taken off! They didn’t have much light until yesterday when I added another 100w led and since then I’ve seen a huge difference ! They are looking super healthy the roots said fuck the pot and grew right through it I’m actually super interested in seeing how these grow up.. The 3 clones that were separate last week are now moved into one single pot to further develop the experiment. They are on the same feed as the mother with flora grow/micro/bloom and cal-mag . And In the last picture you can see my ghettos man way of cloning .. going to see which 2 out of 4 are better rooted and I will move those to a pot in about a week or so. If you guys have any questions or want to know where I got these exotic seeds message me!! Or comment below !

👉Day43- buds getting fatter and fatter every day :) i can just watch nothing to do rly..:) 👉Day44-Did little deformation and changed 22h>21h lighting since i saw info abt this strain 20h is best they say..... Week or 2 and will change from 21h>20h sleping time so they can rest little bit loonger🤣🤣👍 👉Day45- spoted calcium deficiecy onley on the biggest plant od 3..or 4 leafes.... 😣😪 overall all is well :) 👉Day46-flowers start to smell rly rly nice!!! U can alredy smell that orange/citrus/sweet strong smell when u smell it closely💚🤗🤗🤗💚 👉Day47-2flowers had sings of heat strees(expected that!) so i change height of lap for 10cm,reorganize positions of flowers,so the lower buds are in the middle..... and change fann position, they also kinda stopped rising in to the high white&blue sky!! Height info:cca 85,cm 70cm,66cm,64cm,64cm and the farthest bud away from lamp is like 65cm 🤗👍 👉Day48-flowers flowering rly good :) little calcium deficiency..and did kinda big deformation .... nothing to do now anymore rly ......can just water them every 2days and wait :)🤗🤗 👉👉Have fun mates and be safe!!!😷🤣👍💚

Ramping up the EC continued. 1.2 for this week. It is increasingly hungry though so I need to find the balance for how much to ramp. I'd rather go a bit too low than too high though so taking it slow. Flowers have appeared and are slowly starting to develop. A subtle and very delicious smell is starting to develop. Also since last week they've been drinking a lot more obviously. Been giving around a liter a day each. Once a week a lot less to dry them out. Did some LST again as I wanted them to cover more surface. Lets see how next week goes.

Still on water only. Captains Cake going to mom and clone tent. Alongside sour dream. For future diary's. Switching to Budswell 0-7-0 for flowering next 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.

Good week. On day 50 I Defoliated. Removed lowers, Taped up the room for light blockage Day 56 from Complete reservoir change Room temp/humidity- 67/70 Plant temp/humidity-70/65 CO2 level-922 CO-47 Water ph- 5.9 Water ppm- 1200 Water temp- 73

Great week again. Clones showed more great signs of growth and are quite healthy. Today I repotted them to the final 5 gallon containers that they will be spending flowering in. We should be going into flowering within the next couple of weeks, I will be monitoring growth and performing a pre-flower strip. Updates as they come, of course.

Week 3 is done and this girl had an interesting week. I noticed her yellowing tips on day 17 but only on the older growth? I'm stumped, surely it isn't the light intensity, still only at 450ish umols. The pot is always weighty, could it be an over water? Her sisters don't seem phased at all. As for environment, today I've turned the ventilation fan on 24hrs with no breaks. I started getting paranoid that hour on hour off is not doing them any favors and I'm just gonna have to suck it up and bare the brunt of the power bill. This will also drastically reduce the RH, which I'm not totally sure of the effects it will have on the girls. Low RH has got to be better than RH too high, right? 🤷‍♂️

Today July 2nd will mark Day 36 in flower. Took the defoliating real well. Now looking forward to see what it do with Open Seasme from FoxFarm. Didn’t use the Lotus. But other water feeding . I just use pure water but PH now 6.5 . No longer in Veg. Time to boom boom bloom . Let go growmies!!! :)

Winter Grow Attempt Hollands Hope Dutch Passion seeds Hollands Hope 16th June 2020 Finally somethings happening ..... It's a Girl 😁 Ive spotted the very first of her preflowers starting to appear. This is gonna be a very long grow if it continues at this slow rate of growth but shit happens 😀 I have a Bio dynamic "TEA" Bubbling away for all of my Gardens and I will dilute some to feed this young lady as soon as it is ready for use. Nothing much else to report on this week so I'll leave it at that. Thankyou for stopping by 👍 *****EDIT Sorry about the audio on the Video the Air pump is very Noisey ******

07/08/2020 Powdery mildew has cleared up got bird poop on leaves now will clean, and defoliate as needed🙏 Red Sky clones do not take light stress well be on top of that shit with a timer! The first clone I took I put under 24 hour light (on purpose)sent out male flower at several nodes (collecting for Feminized project) So no light stress, unless you need to!

This week the plants got very bushy and wide. Stopped using Root Juice and Used Recharge microbes for the first time one day out of the week. LST also began this week. I noticed separate issues on two of the plants on their 21st day; the girl on the right showed some yellow color in some of the tips of the new growth at the top of the plant, while the girl in the middle had low hanging leaf tips which look burned / discolored. I think I might be over-watering. I'll confirm all of their soil is completely dry with my a moisture meter before watering next time.

flushing week

Qué largo se me está haciendo.. Pensaba dejarlas ya 3 días desde hoy a oscuras y posteriormente cortar, pero siendo sensato las dejaré otra semana más para que terminen de madurar los cogollos de abajo. Claramente dejé de abonar demasiado pronto, podría haber dado 1 o 2 riegos más tranquilamente, pero bueno una cosa más que aprendo para las próximas. Van a estar 3 semanas sin abonar😅 aunque no han mostrado muchos síntomas de deficiencias

Helloo this week was nice and this site HELPED ME ALOOOOOOT ty!ty! -I think I'm doing very well, the leafs look very healthy strong and thick. Also i am picturing onley 1 flower cus dont want to keep moving them all they are all same anyway..well 1 will bigger rest same.(in video i record all) -d8 I did an update in my box, now most of the time air comes into the box directly from nature(forest)...fan is aimed direcly to lamp and lamp is like 300C/ 572F so cold air from outside is not cold anymore :) i dont even know if this good but feels good haha - d8 Got some flys fyling inside box so i add hunney fly trap so she dont SHIT ON MY PLANTS!!☠️😂🤨🤨 -d9 Made new better reflector for the light,friend test with some shit and has 20% more power or whatever then befor😊 littles changes make big diffrences i see. -d10 1flower had super little light burn at middle so i change light 40cm-50cm. (Picture added) -d10 Add one more fan -d10 One of plants kinda stop growing in middle ...the onley diffrence i can see is that this plant is more exposed to fan wind.. then others.....so i change position with biggest plant now i wait and seee what heppens...(friend toold me this heppend becouse i smoke 2machh amnezia haze with her every day and she forget how to grow🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍) -I realized that flowers tell you everything, you just have to watch them closely for the first signs and react fast. - (if anyone mybe noticed)white little little dots on leafs is just ash from joints🤣🤣every day i smoke 1 with them.👍 -d12 i dont rly like nutes cus i dont know what is point of genetics if everyone add toons of shit inside plants?????.......this is for personal use anyway so i wanna to be max pure original taste and high but i ordered smth call autoflower powemix(for all stages) 25€ 1l and will try on 1plant to see the what diffrece will make(still smth inside me telling m to cancel order tho) -d13 i make bigger Pot sizes from 10l to 20l or more -d 13 made my homemade box from 160cm to 250cm height(110x110) -d13 slow growing plant today start goo grow normaly again t i noticated today.❤️ -d 14 noticated the plants start to drink alot more warter then befor( i LIKE👍) Sry for my english is not best :) Was fun :)
