This grow was pretty simple ! They went a total of 103 days from seed! Very trichomy dense buds with the smell of Berries vanilla and skunk ! This is a must try for you all Fastbuds has the greats!!!

Harvested on day 66, overall very happy with how these ladies turned out & will definitely be growing them again! Wish all 3 could have put off buds like 1 of them did but the other 2 had some small issues & I feel like that’s why the didn’t produce as well! Will be updating soon with more pictures of dry weight & smoke report! Thank you to everyone for following & happy growing friends🙏🏼✌️🏼🌱

Lots of trimming, trimming and trimming.

Flower Week2 (Week8) starts today 🙌 Extremely bad weather with few days of constant rain affecting the humidity levels. I’m having a massive issue to lower it below 70% with humidifier, fans and outtake with carbon filter constantly on. Fingers crossed 🤞 Stay tuned! Update day 5 Still battling the humidity levels but it’s way better than the start of the week. LemonWalker is definitely looking as the first to finish from those 2 They getting around 3 litres of water (food) straight after lights are on - EC 1.9 / pH 5.8 In two days with a a start of week3 I will be dropping CalMag extra and Roots excelurator as they won’t be needing it anymore. Absolutely can’t wait till the end 😍

Não coloquei muitos nutriente essa semana, está linda e resinando muito, as vezes deixo no sol por umas 2/3 horas

In questa settimana la crescita é stata veloce anche grazie ai fertilizzanti. LST ho dovuto sistemarlo ogni giorno perché continuavano a crescere nuove gemme e l’apicale tornava sempre su. Il tronco si é irrobustito tanto.

Super easy grow , i hst & topped this girl early & I think that really helped her out !!! She was grown in living soil so no NPK was given to this girl at all .. she smells just like lemonade, and finish on day 71 from seed !! Super happy with this girl ... she’s drying now , I can’t wait to smoke her!! She smokes super smooth, taste exactly how she smells!! Great job fast buds

Week 2 of flowering phase Cookies Gelato by royal queen seeds Hallo fellow growers here we go Day 8 flowering phase looking good amazing to see them developing up close day by day . Today no watering maybe some defoliation below the net but that it cool beans 😎 Day 9 Flowering phase Didn't see the plant for 20hours and jebus they grew over night they went up 15cm . But they are looking healthy Gave them almost 1.2L nutrients was getting dry that was it . Day 10 flowering phase Today adjust some things in the tent it didn't feel a right not to happy with tents quality 🤔 also it's very challenging to get to back corner plant. I need to fully open the tent. There are no peak holes ore other opening to get to the back . And it feels unstable . Plants i only did some final defoliation and gave 0.5l normal water Day 11 flowering phase Plants looking okay to me. Didn't water them today want to let them dry out some . I think because of all the watering i am Struggling with the humidity in the tent . It is around 80% and that little dehumidifier don't do jack patetoe . Def need to think of a solution for later in the weeks Day 12 Flowering phase Gave nuts water and put a 2nd ScrOG up a little higher . Today got my 3X 🧟‍♂️ haze seeds from Sumo Seeds 3x Taison Autoflower from VIP seeds 1x girls scout cookies from Zamnesia Free with order 👌 Day 13 Flowering phase Sunday relax day no watering . Everything looking good that budcandy and Big bud from advanced Nutrients are working like a charm . I have bin semi keeping to the recommend advanced Nutrients schedule and i think works for me . I have here and there play around a bit but they seem to not be having problems with that . Advanced Nutrients is getting 10/10 for me Day 14 Flowering phase Week 2 of flowering phase complete It was a learning week for me . Got bit scared how they grow 15 cm in a day . But it's seems to be oké i got still some real estate left. I think that i am not giving them any water what so ever . I need to learn to let them dry out some . Also a bit struggling with humidity in the tent . I am trying to give them water right before light on ore right after light out . It's definitely a learning process that i don't mind learning 🤘🏻🤘🏻 Thanks for stopping by growmies i appreciate it a lot 😎. And for the one's that read my stuff sorry for misspelled English

I experimented with this as it was a free seed and I wanted to see what would happen if I removed any additional nodes and just kept focus on the man node/ cola. She weighed in a solid ounce dry maybe less give or take a few days of curing/ drying. Smoked really nice and packed a punch which kinda made me regret using this beautiful strain in my experiment as I would have loved more from her but at the same time she taught me a lot with regards to nutrient levels and how plants react depending on which way they're trained or defoliated which has really helped me with future grows so for that I will certainly be running this strain again! Thanks Barneys ... Awesome genetics as per usual 👏

J’ai investi dans un système d’arrosage automatique Blumat avec 8 detecteurs Tropf. Fini l’arrosage, petite défoliation et c’est roue libre complète pendant un mois ! :) I invested in a Blumat watering system with 8 Tropf sensor. No more watering for me, one more defoliation and we’re set to go for the next month !

Ya se van viendo los primeros pistilos blancos, ya llevan dos semanas de 12 horas de luz, he realizado poda de bajos y he aumentado tanto el PH como la EC para que vayan cogiendo forma las flores, asimilando más fósforo y potasio al estar el PH a 6.3, voy alternando los abonados con un riego de agua, un riego con abono, respetando el rango de PH correspondiente y midiendo la EC para que este a 0.4, si me da menos subo con Calmag de Biobizz, en dos semanas estarán listas para pasar al armario grande, con 300w de led para sus últimas 4 semanas hacer que engorden bien los cogollos, buenos humos!!!!😃

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 12 | When Every Cola Really Does Look Like a Main Cola 💎👑🔥 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Well... At this point, I think we've officially passed the stage where this is a surprise. 😂 Black Diamond Pheno A is still doing it. Again. And again. And again. Everywhere I look... MAIN COLA. 😂💎🌸 I swear, this girl has apparently decided that the concept of "side cola" is simply not part of her vocabulary. She's growing beautifully. She's building incredibly dense flowers. She's becoming heavier. She's getting more impressive every week. And the funniest part? I'm not really doing much. I'm watching. I'm observing. I'm admiring. And occasionally standing there thinking: "Jesus Christ..." 😂😂😂 Because those colas are getting BIG. We're starting to reach the stage where the main cola is looking like a baseball bat... or at least getting into that kind of arm-sized territory. And then you look around... and the rest of the plant is basically saying: "Don't forget about us." 😂💎👑 So... let's give this incredible Black Diamond girl the spotlight she deserves. Because she is absolutely shining. ──────────────────────── 💎 WEEK 12 – THE MAIN COLA FACTORY ──────────────────────── Last week I said that every cola looked like a main cola. Well... I'm afraid I have absolutely nothing new to report on that front. 😂 Because she's still doing exactly the same thing. Everywhere. 🌸 The main cola is getting bigger. The side colas are getting bigger. The branches are carrying more flower. The entire plant is becoming increasingly dominated by these beautiful, dense flowering structures. And at this point, I've stopped trying to decide which one is supposed to be "the main." 😂 The main cola? Obviously. But then... there's another one. And another. And another. And another. So perhaps the correct terminology for this girl is simply: "Black Diamond Pheno A and her collection of main colas." 😂💎👑 That seems more accurate. ──────────────────────── 🏏 THE BASEBALL BAT IS ARRIVING ──────────────────────── Now... let's talk about that main cola. Because this is where things are becoming seriously impressive. 😂🔥 She's getting BIG. Not just long. Not just pretty. Substantial. The main flowering structure is becoming thick and dense enough that the baseball-bat comparison doesn't feel completely ridiculous anymore. 😂🏏🌸 And when I look at her from different angles... you can really appreciate how much flower is being packed into that structure. It's not just a long flower. It's a substantial cola. And she's still developing. That's what makes it so exciting. We're watching the plant move from: "That's a nice cola." to: "Okay..." to: "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?" 😂😂😂 And somehow... I think we're getting closer to the last category. ──────────────────────── 💪 ARM-SIZED? SHE'S GETTING THERE ──────────────────────── I'm going to be careful with the comparison... but honestly... look at her. 😂 That main cola is getting to the point where "arm-sized" doesn't sound completely insane. It's substantial. It's dense. It's long. And it's becoming one of the most visually dominant structures on the plant. But here's the funny part. The main cola might be the baseball bat... but the rest of the plant is still throwing beautiful flowers everywhere. They're not all baseball bats. Let's not get carried away. 😂 But they're still beautiful, substantial colas in their own right. Which brings us straight back to the original Black Diamond problem: How many main colas does one plant actually need? Apparently... all of them. 😂💎👑 ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE SIDE COLAS ARE NOT SIDES ANYMORE ──────────────────────── This is something I really love about this phenotype. Usually, when we talk about side branches, there's an implied hierarchy. Main cola. Secondary cola. Side branches. Smaller flowers. Not with this girl. 😂 Her side branches have become serious flowering structures. They're not just filling space. They're contributing to the overall presence of the plant. You can look at one branch and think: "That's a beautiful cola." Then move your eyes two branches over... "That's another one." And another. And another. The whole plant is becoming a collection of substantial flowering structures. That's an incredible characteristic. And honestly... it's one of the things that's making this phenotype so memorable for me. ──────────────────────── 🌿 STRONG AS HELL ──────────────────────── And here's another thing I really appreciate about her. She's heavy. Very heavy. But she's strong. 💪🌿 Despite the amount of flower she's carrying... despite those enormous developing colas... despite the weight increasing... she's not asking for a forest of supports. She's standing there. Strong. Solid. Doing her thing. And that's something I really admire. Because visually, when you see those flowers, you immediately think: "That must be heavy." And yes... it absolutely looks heavy. 😂 But the plant itself is holding her structure beautifully. That's a characteristic I really like seeing. Strong plant. Strong branches. Dense flowers. Beautiful architecture. And absolutely no shortage of personality. 💎👑 ──────────────────────── 👀 I'M MOSTLY JUST WATCHING ──────────────────────── And honestly... that's probably the biggest change in my role with her right now. I'm not doing much. I'm observing. That's it. We're at that stage of the run where I don't feel the need to constantly interfere just because I can. The plant has already established herself. The structure is there. The flowers are there. The branches are doing their job. And now... she's building. So I watch. I look. I photograph. I check. And if something actually needs attention... then we deal with it. Otherwise? Let her work. 😂🌱 Sometimes the best thing a grower can do is simply not get in the plant's way. And Black Diamond Pheno A seems perfectly happy with that arrangement. ──────────────────────── AMAZING GENETICS SHOWING THEMSELVES ──────────────────────── This girl has really become one of those phenotypes where the genetics are speaking loudly. Very loudly. 😂💎 The structure. The density. The number of substantial colas. The strength of the plant. The way the flowers are distributed. The overall architecture. It's all becoming increasingly distinctive. And that's one of the most exciting parts of phenotype hunting. You start with a seed. You don't know exactly what you're going to get. Then week after week... the plant starts revealing herself. And eventually you reach a point where you think: "Oh. I know who you are now." And with this girl? I think we're getting there. She's a serious flower builder. She's strong. She's dense. She's beautiful. And she clearly knows how to use the space she's been given. 💎🌿🌸 ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME ROOM – COMPLETELY HER OWN EXPRESSION ──────────────────────── And once again... let's remember where she is growing. Same 8×8. Same general environment. Same 12/12 schedule. Same irrigation system. Same nutritional foundation. Same lighting philosophy. Same upgraded Future of Grow setup. And yet... look at her. This is exactly why I love this project. The room provides the common stage. The genetics write the individual story. Every plant gets the same general opportunity. And every plant decides what to do with it. Black Diamond Pheno A has apparently decided: "I'll take those photons... and I'll turn them into main colas." 😂☀️💎 Fair enough, girl. ──────────────────────── ☀️ MORE PHOTONS – MORE CAPABILITY ──────────────────────── The upgraded lighting setup remains in place. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures have given the room considerably more lighting capability. We don't need to run them at maximum output. Instead, we've brought the power down to approximately: 💡 ~59% from the plug giving us approximately: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with intensity naturally varying depending on plant height and position. And this is something I really appreciate about the setup. We have the capacity. We control the output. And then we watch what the plants do with the environment. Black Diamond is certainly showing us what she's capable of doing. She's building. She's stacking. She's becoming denser. And she's creating some seriously impressive flowering structures. 💎🌸☀️ ──────────────────────── 🌸 DENSE COLAS – EVERYWHERE ──────────────────────── The density is another characteristic that keeps catching my eye. These aren't just loose, wispy little flowers. They're becoming substantial structures. Dense. Full. Developed. And when you look across the plant... there are so many of them. That's what gives her that incredible visual impact. It's not just one impressive flower. It's the combination. Main cola. Side colas. Lower branches. Upper branches. Everywhere you look... another beautiful flowering structure. 😂💎🌸 It's almost unfair to the camera. There's simply too much to photograph. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE CAMERA DOESN'T KNOW WHERE TO LOOK ──────────────────────── This girl is becoming a photographer's nightmare. 😂📸 You line up the main cola. Beautiful. Then you notice one behind it. Beautiful. Then another on the side. Beautiful. Then you realize the whole branch is loaded. Beautiful. Then you step back... and the entire plant is doing it. 😂 At some point you just give up trying to choose. Take them all. That's the only solution. And that's exactly what I love about these weekly reports. The photographs don't just show a flower. They show the evolution. Week after week. You can see the plant becoming more substantial. You can see the colas gaining presence. You can see the structure becoming increasingly dominated by flowers. And Black Diamond is giving us one hell of a visual story. ──────────────────────── ❄️ THE FROST IS STILL PART OF THE PACKAGE ──────────────────────── Of course... we can't forget the frost. 💎❄️ Because underneath all that size... there's still plenty of sparkle. The resin continues to give those flowers that beautiful crystalline appearance. And when the light catches the structures... they really do shine. That's one of the things I love about photographing her. From a distance: "Big plant." Closer: "Big flowers." Closer still: "Oh..." 😂💎🔬 There's another layer. The frost. The texture. The detail. The individual flower structures. That's what makes the plant so rewarding to photograph. ──────────────────────── 🌿 STRONG, DENSE & BEAUTIFUL ──────────────────────── If I had to describe this phenotype in a few words right now... I'd probably go with: 💎 Strong 🌸 Dense 👑 Substantial 🌿 Beautiful 🔥 Impressive And maybe: 😂 "What the hell did I grow?" Because that one keeps coming back. 😂 She's becoming a seriously impressive plant. And the best part? I'm not forcing it. I'm not constantly manipulating her. I'm watching her reveal herself. That's the exciting part. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ SAME NUTRITION – SAME FOUNDATION ──────────────────────── The nutritional programme remains consistent with the rest of the room. 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjusted as required Current solution values remain around: ⚗️ pH – ~6.02 ⚡ EC – ~2.14 mS/cm Again... we're not trying to create a special world around Black Diamond. She's part of the same room. Same general feeding foundation. Same environment. And she's responding in her own way. Which is exactly what this project is designed to document. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 12 ROOM CONDITIONS ──────────────────────── The room continues broadly around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 RH: ~61% 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💦 Nutrient solution: ~25°C ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h Same room. Same conditions. Different plant. Different expression. Different story. 💎🌿 ──────────────────────── 👑 SHE DOESN'T NEED MUCH FROM ME ──────────────────────── That's probably the thing I appreciate most right now. She's not asking me to reinvent anything. She's not asking me to constantly intervene. She's simply growing. And my job is to watch. Observe. Support if necessary. Adjust if necessary. And otherwise... leave her alone. 😂🌿 There's something very satisfying about reaching this stage. Earlier in the grow, there can be a lot of decisions. A lot of movement. A lot of planning. A lot of intervention. Now? The plant has become the main character. We're just watching the story unfold. And Black Diamond is writing a damn good one. ──────────────────────── 🏏 ONE BASEBALL BAT – MANY MAIN COLAS ──────────────────────── So let's officially establish the current situation. The main cola? 🏏 Getting into baseball-bat territory. Possibly approaching the kind of arm-sized visual presence that makes you stop and stare. 😂 The rest? Not baseball bats. Let's be reasonable. 😂 But still... beautiful. Substantial. Dense. And absolutely deserving of the "main cola" title in their own right. So perhaps the final terminology is: 🏏 One giant main cola. 🌸 A whole collection of smaller-but-still-serious main colas. 😂💎👑 That sounds about right. ──────────────────────── AN AMAZING PHENOTYPE TO FOLLOW ──────────────────────── I'm genuinely excited about this girl. And I think that's worth saying. Not because I want to predict where she'll finish. Not because I'm trying to crown anything. But because she's giving us something really interesting to document. She's strong. She's structurally impressive. She's producing dense flowers. She's creating substantial colas throughout the plant. And she's doing it consistently. Week after week. That's what makes a phenotype exciting to follow. You start seeing patterns. You start understanding her personality. And you start realizing: "This is what she does." Black Diamond Pheno A? Apparently... this is what she does. 😂💎🌸 And I absolutely love it. ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW ──────────────────────── At this point, my job is mostly observation. I'm watching: 🌸 The continued development of those massive colas. 💎 The density and resin coverage. 🌿 The strength of the branches as the flowers continue to build. 👑 The main cola as it gets even more substantial. 🌸 The side colas as they continue to develop into their own major flowering structures. 📸 And, of course, the photographs. Because I want to capture this evolution properly. There's no need to rush the story. There's no need to predict the ending. We're simply watching. And right now... what we're watching is beautiful. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – SHE JUST KEEPS DOING IT ──────────────────────── Week 12. Black Diamond Auto Pheno A. And at this point... I don't even know what else to call her. 😂💎👑 She's still doing it. Still throwing main colas everywhere. Still growing beautifully. Still building dense flowers. Still getting heavier. Still standing strong. Still making herself noticed. And I'm still standing there looking at her thinking: "Beautiful." Then: "Beautiful." Then: "Beautiful." 😂💎🌸 She's one of those plants where you don't really need complicated words. Just look at her. The main cola is becoming enormous. The side colas are following right behind. The flowers are dense. The plant is strong. The structure is impressive. And she's doing all of this while we're mostly just observing. That's the beautiful part. The plant is doing the work. We're giving her the environment. We're giving her the light. We're giving her the nutrition. And then... she writes the story. And what a story she's writing. 💎👑🌿🔥 So let's give this incredible phenotype the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's admire that baseball-bat main cola. Let's admire all those side "main colas." Let's appreciate the density. Let's appreciate the strength. Let's appreciate the genetics. And let's keep watching. Because I'm genuinely excited to see where this girl goes from here. She's already exceeded my expectations. And she's not finished surprising me yet. 💎🌸👑🔥 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share these experiments with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Black Diamond genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover and follow this absolutely beautiful phenotype. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the room. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and giving us the opportunity to explore this expanded lighting setup. 💡☀️🌿 Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to watch these girls evolve. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 This 8×8 Adventure continues to show us something I never get tired of seeing: Put different genetics into the same general environment... and they will tell you completely different stories. Black Diamond Pheno A is telling us a particularly beautiful one. 💎👑 Strong. Dense. Beautiful. Heavy. Loaded with colas. And apparently completely unwilling to accept the idea that only one cola can be the main cola. 😂💎🌸 She's doing her thing. I'm doing mine. She's growing. I'm observing. And for now... that's exactly how I like it. So let's give her the spotlight she deserves. Let's let her shine. Let's keep watching those flowers bulk. Let's admire that giant main cola. Let's admire all those beautiful side colas. And let's see just how much more this amazing phenotype has left to show us. Because honestly... I'm excited. Very excited. 💎🌿👑🔥 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where one cola is apparently never enough, the main cola is becoming a baseball bat, the side colas are pretending they're mains, and Black Diamond Pheno A continues to make the definition of "main cola" completely irrelevant. 😂💎👑🌸 Let her shine. 💚

Les bourgeons commence à avoir de la couleur purple.

💩Holy Crap We Are Back At It And Loving It💩 👉FOLKS WE R ALMOST TO THE FINISH LINE👈 Growmies we are at DAY 63 and she's just killing💀it👌 👉We are in full flowering mode and she's doing great 👈 Everything is looking good even the Tiny Cup 🥤 So Shit , I gave them just a tad to much nutes at the start of feeding 👈 But I have since fixed it So I'm still doing some low stress training 🙃 and some defolation 😳 Lights being readjusted and chart updated .........👍rain water to be used entire growth👈 👉I used NutriNPK for nutrients for my grows and welcome anyone to give them a try .👈 👉 www.nutrinpk.com 👈 NutriNPK Cal MAG 14-0-14 NutriNPK Grow 28-14-14 NutriNPK Bloom 8-20-30 NutriNPK Bloom Booster 0-52-34 I GOT MULTIPLE DIARIES ON THE GO 😱 please check them out 😎 👉THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO GO OVER MY DIARIES 👈

Hello all! I am finally back online and so here is a proper update for the Queen! Citronella has suffered terribly during the house move and following weeks, a few days ago I took her lower third off and defoliated and removed underdeveloped nodes. I dried the popcorn I took off during this process and got 12g (dry). The rest I am leaving on her and hoping and praying those buds swell. The smell is absolutely the greatest thing ever, she is stunningly pungent - even the quick dried popcorn is really beautiful to smoke - so whatever I get from her, whatever little it will be, I will certainly enjoy. Anyway she is now being taken care of a bit more regularly and properly and moving forward until harvest I expect this to continue. Day 109: Fertigated 10l Day 111: The queen is maturing, but I am not sure her buds are going to get much fatter at this point. She is already struggling to hold them up, they must be really dense if they are so heavy this small. I am really at a disappointed stage with this grow, and I must do better next time I grow this strain. I am not impressed with this LED light, I think I need to grow a full tent under my better light and see how they do. Anyway she is trundling along and I don't think too far from the inevitably disappointing harvest.

2nd October 2018 - Day 99 Burn slows down Third day of flush and she starts to thicken up. Day 100 - Sweet smell begins as she starts to mature. Day 103 - Begining to mture and dense. Day 104 - Water added and pH balanced 5.4 Day 105 - Last week of Flush

She's stout and bushy so far, the canopy is very uniform despite not topping. Hoping to push hard for the stretch to match her sister. Smells good already!

Again the super soil seems to save them and provide for exponential growth. I could try to up my humidity, which is somewhat low. But the phenotypes are looking awesomely similar for a no-name brand. This could be a hidden little gem and can't wait to see how they mature. Meanwhile been fighting gnats, tried to get rid of them with a solution of citric acid and water. It seems to help as a contact poison on the soil, while only being a tiny film, so I just don't have to add any citric coming waterings. We like them organic solutions with stuff already lying around the house. Next week I'm going to FIM them and hope this works out better than with my Orange Hill Special grow. Well Im off for this week but not without thanking @MarsHydroLED again for an awesome light! SP -3000 is a monster light, check it out on Aliexpress Mars Hydro Global Store!

Little buds start showing up more and more everyday now, and the smell is incredible! Massachusetts has been experiencing some heat waves a lot with short intense thunderstorms with high winds yet these plants have continued to do what they do best and thrive. Plants have been given another round of Jobes organic granular feed with a 2-5-3 composition on NPK, and have started to restore their dark green color in new bud sites. I have been giving them heavy water due to the intense heat of 90-100 degrees, sometimes twice a day of around 3-5 gallons each watering which could result in slight flushing and more frequent feedings. I will have to wait and see, and watch how the ladies respond
