🍑🍑🍑 Apricot Automatic – Outdoor Projekt Woche 2 Während die Strawberry Gorillas bereits in der Blüte stehen, beginnt für drei neue Damen gerade erst das Abenteuer. Alle drei Apricot Automatics entwickeln sich gesund, zeigen eine kräftige grüne Farbe und haben sich hervorragend an die Outdoor-Bedingungen angepasst. Trotz ihres jungen Alters legen sie aktuell das Fundament für einen spannenden Sommer. 🌱 Gesunde Entwicklung ☀️ Sehr gute Anpassung an das Outdoor-Klima 💚 Keine sichtbaren Mangelerscheinungen oder Stresssymptome 🌿 Stetig neues Wachstum Der Großteil der Arbeit findet momentan unter der Erde statt. Die Wurzeln erschließen nach und nach die Stofftöpfe und schaffen die Grundlage für das spätere explosive Wachstum. Es ist immer wieder faszinierend zu sehen, dass jede große Outdoor-Pflanze einmal genau so begonnen hat – klein, unscheinbar und voller Potenzial. Für die kommenden Tage lautet die Mission: Wurzeln bilden, Sonne tanken und sich auf die Wachstumsphase vorbereiten. Das Abenteuer hat gerade erst begonnen. 🍑☀️🌱 📅 Wie jeden Sonntag gibt es neue Updates auf GrowDiaries, damit ihr die Entwicklung aller drei Apricot Automatic Pflanzen durch die gesamte Outdoor-Saison 2026 verfolgen könnt. 😎🍑🍑🍑🌱 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🍑🍑🍑 Apricot Automatic – Outdoor Project Week 2 While the Strawberry Gorillas are already entering flower, three new ladies have just begun their journey. All three Apricot Automatics are showing healthy growth, vibrant green color, and excellent adaptation to their outdoor environment. Despite their young age, they are already building the foundation for what could become an exciting summer project. 🌱 Healthy development ☀️ Responding well to outdoor conditions 💚 No signs of deficiencies or stress 🌿 New growth appearing steadily At this stage, most of the work is happening below the surface as the roots establish themselves throughout the fabric pots. Once the root zone expands, growth above ground should accelerate significantly. It's always amazing to remember that every giant outdoor plant starts exactly like this — small, simple, and full of potential. For now, the mission is clear: Build roots, absorb sunshine, and prepare for the explosive growth phase ahead. The adventure has only just begun. 🍑☀️🌱 📅 As always, new updates will be posted every Sunday on GrowDiaries so you can follow the complete journey of all three Apricot Automatic plants throughout the 2026 outdoor season. 😎🍑🍑🍑🌱

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 10 | Still Shining, Still Demanding, Still Amazing 💎🔥 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Honestly... I'm starting to run out of different ways to say it. She keeps shining. Every week I come into the room expecting to find something that needs attention, something that needs correcting, something that gives me a reason to complain. And Black Diamond Pheno A keeps looking at me like: "I'm fine. Give me what I need and let me work." 😂💎 So that's exactly what we're doing. She demands. We deliver. She builds. We watch. And somehow, every week, she manages to look even more impressive. The flower formation. The colours. The trichomes. The overall maturity. Everything is moving in a direction I really like. She's not the biggest plant we've had in this 12/12-from-seed adventure, but she's definitely among the substantial ones. And when you look at what she's putting together... size isn't the first thing you notice anymore. You notice the flowers. You notice the colours. You notice the frost. You notice how far along she is becoming. And then you smile. Because this girl is doing something special. 💎 Still Shining Bright Last week we called her Beast Mode. I'm not sure I can take that name away from her yet. 😂 Because she's still operating in that mode. But this week, I think the better description is simply: She's shining. Not because she's demanding anything unusual. Not because she's causing problems. Actually, quite the opposite. She's basically telling us exactly what she wants... and then rewarding us for listening. Give her the environment. Give her the nutrition. Give her the light. Give her the water. Give her the room to develop. And she goes to work. That's the relationship I love having with a plant. We're not forcing her. We're not trying to make her become something she isn't. We're simply supporting what she's naturally doing. And what she's naturally doing is looking absolutely amazing. 🌸 The Flowers Are Getting Serious This is where my attention keeps going. The flower formation is becoming seriously impressive. The individual flowers are gaining definition. The structures are becoming denser. The pistils are developing through the flowers. And everything is beginning to look increasingly mature. We're getting to the point where I don't need to imagine what these flowers might become. They're already showing us. And there's a lot of them. That's one of the things I really appreciate about this phenotype. She isn't just putting everything into one location. She's using her structure. She's building throughout the plant. And as the weeks move forward, that distributed flower production becomes more and more impressive. ❄️ The Trichomes Are Doing Their Thing And then... there's the frost. 💎❄️ This girl continues to develop an increasingly beautiful resin-covered appearance. The trichomes are becoming more obvious. The flowers are getting that crystalline character. And when the light catches them just right... she really does shine. That's probably one of my favourite things about documenting her. You can look at the whole plant and see a beautiful flowering plant. Then you move the camera closer... and suddenly there's another world there. The individual resin heads. The sugar leaves. The pistils. The developing flower surfaces. All those little details that you simply cannot appreciate from across the room. Black Diamond is giving the macro camera plenty of reasons to stay busy. 📸💎 🎨 And Those Colours... The colours are another thing that really catches my attention this week. Her greens remain beautiful and vibrant, giving the plant that strong, healthy appearance we've been enjoying throughout the run. But alongside those greens, we're starting to see more of the colour development that comes with moving deeper into the flowering cycle. And together with the frost... it's a beautiful combination. Green. Colour. White resin. Developing flowers. It's becoming a seriously photogenic plant. And yes... I know I say that about several of the girls. But that's the point of having twelve different phenotypes in the room. They each find their own way to impress us. Black Diamond has chosen: "I'll do it with flowers, colour and frost." 😂💎 🌿 Big Enough to Make Herself Known At around 169 cm, she's certainly not a small plant. She's among the larger plants in this 12/12-from-seed room, or at least comfortably within the substantial group. But what I find interesting is that her size isn't what defines her anymore. When she was stretching and building her framework, height was part of her story. Now? The flowers have taken over the conversation. She's built enough structure. She's established enough height. Now she's putting that structure to work. And honestly... I like where she's going. 👑 She Knows What She Wants This phenotype has always had a certain confidence about her. She doesn't seem interested in asking permission. She just does her thing. And that hasn't changed. If she needs something, she lets us know. If she's happy, she gets on with growing. And when everything is aligned... she produces. That's what I mean when I say she keeps demanding whatever she wants and we keep delivering. It's not a difficult relationship. It's actually a very simple one. Listen to the plant. She's talking. 😂💚 ✂️ After the Cleanup Last week we gave her some selective defoliation. This week, I'm much more interested in watching how she continues from there. The plant still has plenty of foliage. She's still green. She's still carrying enough leaf mass to support herself. But we've given the structure some additional breathing room. And now the flowers are becoming even easier to appreciate. I like this stage. The plant isn't being stripped. She's simply been given a little more room to show us what she's building. And she's taking full advantage of it. 💡 Light From Above, Within & Below The lighting ecosystem remains one of the fascinating variables throughout the 8×8 Adventure. The primary overhead lighting continues driving the canopy, while the additional lighting throughout the lower and inner portions of the room gives us another dimension to observe. And with Black Diamond? There is plenty to observe. Her flowers are distributed throughout that structure, so seeing how those different levels develop as flowering progresses remains particularly interesting. I don't want to assume exactly what the lighting is doing to each individual flower. I'm much more interested in documenting the result. And right now... the result looks pretty damn good. 💎 💧 She Wants It, We Give It The feeding strategy remains consistent with the room. We're not creating a special recipe just for Black Diamond. She's part of the same overall nutritional program as the other plants. Current flowering nutrition remains: 🌸 Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment products — as required The solution remains around pH 6.0 with an EC around 2.0 mS/cm. And apparently... she's happy with the arrangement. 😂💎 She asks. We provide. She builds. Everybody wins. 🌡️ Current Environment The current recorded conditions for Week 10 are: 🌸 Flowering: Week 10 📏 Height: 169 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29.9°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💦 Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Watering: approximately 1.3 L per plant / 24h Once again, the environment remains consistent. And that's important. Because this entire project is built around giving the plants a shared environment and then watching how differently they express themselves. Same room. Same general conditions. Different genetics. Different personalities. Different results. And Black Diamond Pheno A is definitely giving us one of the more impressive results. 📸 The Camera Is Having Fun Again Looking through this week's photographs, I keep seeing the same thing. There's a lot going on. The wide shots show her overall scale and structure. The closer photographs reveal the flowers. And once we move into the detailed shots... the trichomes start taking over. That's what makes this stage so enjoyable. We're seeing the plant transition from a flowering plant into something that increasingly looks like it's approaching the more advanced stages of its journey. I'm not saying she's finished. Far from it. But she's clearly moving. And she's moving fast enough to get my attention. I know she's not a racehorse. 😂 She's a plant. But when you watch her progression from week to week, the pace of development is absolutely noticeable. And I like it. 💎 The Green Is Beautiful I don't want the frost and flowers to distract from something else I really like about this girl: her green. The foliage still has that beautiful, healthy appearance. The greens contrast beautifully against the developing flowers. And when the resin starts catching the light... the whole combination becomes something really special. Green leaves. Bright pistils. Developing colours. White frost. Dense flowers. That's Black Diamond right now. And she wears it very well. 🔥 She's Becoming a Heavyweight We're also starting to see the consequences of all that flower production. She's carrying weight. A lot of it. The structure that looked impressive earlier in the run now has a job to do. It has to support everything she's been building. And that's where the combination of good structure and sensible support becomes important. We're not trying to make her stand perfectly like a showroom plant. We're helping her carry what she created. Because honestly... I'd rather have the problem of supporting heavy flowers than the problem of wondering where all the flowers went. 😂💎 🧠 Another Lesson From the 8×8 Adventure Black Diamond is another reminder that plant size and production aren't always the same conversation. She's among the larger plants. But her flowers and resin are what make her stand out. And that's exactly why I don't want to judge these girls simply by height. One plant can be huge and express itself one way. Another can be smaller and absolutely cover itself in resin. Another can build enormous individual flowers. Another can distribute production throughout the canopy. And then you have Black Diamond... doing a little bit of everything. 😂💎 She's big enough. She's structured. She's loaded. She's colourful. She's frosty. And she's becoming increasingly mature. That's a pretty good combination. 🔮 Looking Ahead Now I'm getting genuinely curious about the next few chapters. We're entering an increasingly advanced stage of flowering. So my attention is going toward: 🌸 continued flower swelling ❄️ increasing resin development 🎨 colour progression 🌿 overall foliage health 💎 density and structure ⚖️ how much more weight those branches will carry 👀 overall maturity And I'm not going to try to predict exactly where she ends. We'll let her show us. That's the whole point. We observe. We document. We learn. And when she tells us she's ready for the next stage... we listen. 💎 Let Her Shine There are moments in a grow where you don't really need to say much. You just look at the plant. And you smile. That's where I am with Black Diamond Pheno A this week. She's beautiful. She's big. She's colourful. She's green. She's frosty. She's building flowers everywhere. And she's moving deeper into the flowering cycle with a confidence I really enjoy watching. She keeps demanding. We keep delivering. And she keeps rewarding us. Fair trade. 😂💚 So yes... let her shine. Because she deserves it. 💎 Black Diamond Is Still in Beast Mode Maybe that's the simplest conclusion. Last week: Beast Mode Activated. This week: Beast Mode Continues. 😂🔥💎 Nothing dramatic. Nothing complicated. Just a beautiful plant continuing to do what she has been doing from the beginning. Growing. Building. Developing. Frosting. Colouring. And slowly becoming more and more impressive. She's trying to steal the spotlight. And honestly... she's making a very good argument for it. 🙏 Thank You Another week. Another chapter. Another beautiful reminder of why the 8×8 Adventure has been such a fascinating experiment. Twelve plants. One room. One general environment. One 12/12-from-seed philosophy. And twelve completely different expressions. Black Diamond Pheno A continues to show us her own version. A substantial plant. Beautiful structure. Beautiful greens. Increasing colour. Amazing flower formation. And an increasingly impressive layer of frost. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries — for giving growers a place to document, share, learn and inspire one another. 🌱 Zamnesia — for providing the genetics behind this beautiful Black Diamond Auto phenotype. 💜 Plagron — for the nutrition supporting this adventure. 💡 Future of Grow LED — for powering the main lighting environment. 🌿 TrolMaster — for helping maintain the controlled environment behind the scenes. ✨ LumiFlora — for contributing the additional lighting that lets us explore what happens throughout the different levels of the canopy. And of course... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every bit of feedback. Every person stopping by to see what these twelve girls are doing. It means a lot. And Black Diamond? Well... she's still here. Still shining. Still demanding. Still building. Still getting frostier. Still getting heavier. And still trying to steal the spotlight from her sisters. 😂💎👑 This week, I think we can let her have it. Because she's earned it. The colours are beautiful. The greens are beautiful. The flowers are becoming seriously impressive. The trichomes are shining. And the whole plant is moving toward a more advanced stage of flowering that I really like watching. So let's keep doing what we've been doing. Keep listening. Keep delivering. Keep documenting. Keep photographing. And most importantly... let Black Diamond shine. 💎🔥🌿 Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 💚🌱💎

Amo este fenotipo tanto como el otro esta genetica es magistral,cogollos compactos,pegajosos,super duros un aroma muy rico y agradable,no se puede pedir mas,este es el último riego que realizo con nutrientes a partir de ahora comienzo a lavar las raices por tanto solo regaré con agua con su ph bien ajustado a 6,5 para que ka planta se vaya alimentando de todo de lo que quede y eliminar cualquier resto que pueda quedar que empeora la calidad a la hora de fumar,exquisitez de 00 seed bank!

Looking good so far, got a little bit of light burn at beginning of week but not to bad. Plants are really starting to shoot up now that the roots have hit the water. Topped all 4 at beginning of week 3 for LST prep. AC unit in tent is keeping it around 21 Celsius and water is keeping between 18-20 Celsius naturally so far. When the lights go up from 600w to 1000w though my tent will hit 25+ Celsius so I am currently testing a new water cooled thermoelectric peltier reservoir water cooler I built and I will be installing soon. So far testing it I can bring a 5gal bucket of water from 25 Celsius to 10 Celsius in about 6 hrs. So we will see what it can do with about 20gal of water in my set up once my lights get turned up. I will be posting pics/video once I get it all figured out. So far it’s way cheaper then a commercial water chiller and seems to work good.

Alright I've updated this postmortem and cure just to give an idea of what I was up to during the dry and cure weeks. This grow was a ton of work and I'm very please with the results. I learned a ton about soil and environment control and really feel like I'm gaining confidence and coming into my own as a cultivator. I've been playing a lot with ice water hash and rosin and have set some neat goals for the future like hunting ice water hash cultivars, going perpetual and expanding the amount of canopy I can work with by building a network of remote-operated satellite flower tents in friends' and family's abodes . I'm not sure I'll go through all this effort of documentation here again, but please follow along on my instagram, stay in touch and chill out with me sometime @Fullmeltalchemist.00 All in all, I was running 1000w of quantum board across three tents and pulled just over 1100 grams, which was a big goal of mine. Thanks for all the advice and love growmies! And thanks growdiaries for the platform. It's been coo.

All smiles probably the best plant by fast buds I've ran , smells dank going be a nice haul easily over 4 zips best nutrients and lights:) should be done within a month :) drinking water everyday at this point:)

Towards the end of week 4 into flowering. The 2 smaller plants are about 4 and half weeks since germination and are in pre flower

I've been busier than hell so I'll post this week and the next at the same time. I was able to get an auto watering system set up which has saved my back and knees and really helped the plants I think. I can't recommend it enough and it wasn't hard to do. Cost was under $100. It took some time to dial it in as far as the best flow for each plant but I've got it going 4x daily with a little hand water supplement every few days, mostly in the areas that the hydro rings don't cover very well, especially the outsides. With the watering under control, the only other work I've been doing in the grow is some defoliation to open up airflow through the plants, some low stress straining to pull the growth tips away from each other, and at the end of the week set up the net. They're working their way to nicely filling out the canopy. Flipping to flower now, so I'm making sure any light leaks are eliminated and covering any equipment lights with tape.

@FAST_BUDS, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this new secret CBD plant from @FAST_BUDS, will turn out. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Update 2017-08-15. Both seeds have germinated and planted in small pots inside the humidity dome. I'm so glad it worked so well and now it's just hoping they'll start growing and become 2 big healthy girls :) ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-16. I have mixed my own soil today. Its 40% sieved peat harrow H2-H4 0-30 mm, 45% sieved peat harrow H4-H6 0-30 mm. 5% sand and 10% of compost soil. And i use 15% of perlite and mix it all together. .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 2017-08-21 The 2 sisters are doing great, Nr2 is a bit after Nr1 . Some new pics. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 2017-08-23. Transplanted from humidity dome and the small germinating pots to 15 liter autopots. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 2017-08-27. The girls have settled in to there new home of the 15 liters autopot after a little transplant chock. Now the real week 1 starts for me and the girls. 4 new pics. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. New movie of the girls. Its no water for 3 days now so the roots develop more and match the plant above the soil. The temp controlled fan is awesome, its easy to set what temp you like to have in the room. Right now its 28 celcius. And humidity is 56%. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. Im testing the fan to control temp and humidity, it works great. Added some pics with measurements and a movie. Everything is looking great right now. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-31. New video of the girls. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-01. New pics and videos. Gave each of the girls with 2 ml Alg-A-Mic, 4ml Bio-Grow, 4ml Bio-Heaven and 10 ml Formulex mixed in 2 liters of water. I hope they like it :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-02. New pics and the girls liked the water and nutrients yesterday. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-03. Video of the girls this morning. Kl 16.00. Did some defoliation on the girls. Videos added. KL. 23.00. New video.

2ª settimana vegetativa 💚 La piccola CRITICAL LEMON cresce bene, bella e forte🍋⚡💪🏻 Trapianto effettuato da vasetto da germinazione a vaso 6,5 litri definitivo! 👍🏻 Sta per arrivare anche il controller TENT-X gentilmente prestato dagli amici di TROLMASTER

Lollipopped the monster crop clones in the tent; defoliated everything a bit. Everyone seems to be moving alone nicely. Everything is showing pistils except the two bagseeds in the middle of the tent. Smells great in the closet. Between the two tents I have a 2x7’ area with three Sunraise lights running. I’m hoping to have a better harvest than last time. Last grow I only used the 2x4 tent with three plants and two lights yielded about 2 ounces per plant. I nute burned the hell out of them last time and I’ve been feeding about 1/4 the amount I was last grow. These plants seem much healthier and are much larger than my last grow. I have also become more comfortable with defoliation than I was previously. This time I am focusing on larger, denser buds. The plant in the solo cup is a Pineapple Express clone. It has not rooted but the stalk has turned white and it hasn’t been needing much humidity anymore. It is almost rooted; I have been spraying it with colloidal silver to try and Hermie it. If I can get it to Hermie I can separate it before the pollen sacs burst and selectively breed branches on my other plants to make feminized seeds. **growdairies is messing up; I cannot change the temperatures on substrate, night air or day air. Average temp for all is about 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

9.Vegetationswoche, nun 50 cm hoch und 85 cm breit. Bis 15.3.hoffe ich auf 60 cm Höhe und dann wird auf 12/12 umgestellt. Musste nun schon das 5.Mal entlauben, das wächst wie Unkraut. Seit 3 Tagen benutze ich den WaterTrim, Osmose Wasser.

Fine…
