Tag 22: Beide Pflanzen sind schon in die Blüte gegangen. Tag 23: Zeit zum umtopfen! Von 3L auf 6L Topfgröße. Eigentlich wird ja von umtopfen von Automatics abgeraten. Aber ich habe bei meiner letzten Automatic damit erstaunlich gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Das wollte ich nun nochmal testen mit anderen Sorten. Tag 25: getoppt bei 4 Nodien. Tag 27: Ich biege die Zweige täglich

The greenhouse is now packed. The night's got a little bit warmer, weather was partly cloudy and the temperatures during the day went up to 30 in the greenhouse. They are ready for the final transplant and to be finally outdoors. This will happen after the next week. Also most of the other plants will go to they're final place. Time to say goodbye. The plants recovered well from topping. Having my troubles to decide wich one of the two Mimosa Evo and Jack Herer plants might be the stronger ones? One i keep the other will go to some friend....

My little experimenting already bears fruits of knowledge, I've topped too close to the node without leaving a bit of stem, and whilst tying down the branch during LST, I had a gnarly stem split. However a cool head, some grafting tape and a day of healing and this rugged little plant picked herself right back off the floor and shot up inches overnight! More and more pistils are shooting out and this plant is stretching so much, as is typical of OG strains, my last autoflower is nearly done, after which I will put a trellis net in and this lady can have the entire place to herself!

She is a little burned so I had to dim down the light intensity. I am almost defoliating everyday but still some bud sides are shadowed. Just following the Greenhouse Feeding Schedule and giving BioEnhancer every 2 weeks.

I hardly watered, tried to feel their water need and only gave a bit of regular tap water (left out for 48hrs)...not doing nutes until I see def.

Overall i'm really happy with this strain. First i thought i wouldn't get a high yield but i'm pretty happy with it i got 250grams of top trimmed buds 2g of hashoil 2g of bubblehash and another 80grams of dry plant material for making bubblehash. Super potent strain with an amazing flavour, definitely nit the last time growing this strain.

She remains pale, but she's seems very healthy. Buds forming now. Increasing the nutrients.

Not much to say, we officially have take off. Leaf tucking and LST to expose the bud sites, trying not to take anything off if I can help it. These autos don't cope with much, glad I have my photoperiods in there. Can't wait to see some pretty flowers ;) Day 42- one of the Stardawg girls has had a huge growth spurt. Added in a 400 watt side light to fatten up any lower buds. 660Watt Hps over the top. Considering adding CO2 and investing in another light.. Maybe LED. Thoughts? -Day 42 Heights: StarD-73 StarD-35 GSC-39 GSC-35.5 (Day behind other girls.)

Wow, what a week of dank?It's been. I haven't having a blast.I'll tell you what. I'm super grateful and so glad to be here. Learning and enjoying the processes and steps as it goes. Understanding the differences between phenotypes of same plant within the progeny. Did dolphin wax it's glossing. She's definitely a keeper, and i've got a couple clones of her. All love and gratitude 🙏 check out beanpatchseeds.com if you havnt already. More fire on their site 🔥 appreciate the support. Happy growing yall

Ich grüße euch und heiße euch zu meinem Growbericht der Rainbow Sherbet Automatic von Zamnesia Seeds herzlich Willkommen. Die URL zum Strain findet Ihr hier: https://www.zamnesia.com/de/11230-zamnesia-seeds-rainbow-sherbet-automatic.html Da sich bei meiner letzten Growrunde die 9 Liter doppelwandigen ROOTIES Stofftöpfe sehr gut bewährt haben, verwende ich diese auch für diesen Grow. Die Töpfe sind sehr leicht zu reinigen, Waschmaschine, Kurzprogramm ohne Waschmittel, schon sind sie wieder wie neu. Ebenfalls beibehalten werden die Smart Start Plugs von Zamnesia. Der beigefügte Dünger ist trotz abgeklebter Verpackung feucht geworden. Zum befeuchten der Plugs habe ich stattdessen das Plagron Seedbooster Wasser verwendet. Tag 80: Die Rainbow Sherbet Automatic von Zamnesia Seeds ist eine Schönheit. Die Buds sind schwer und müssen an den Hauptstamm gebunden werden. Die unteren Blätter und Zweige entfernt. Sie hat jetzt 4x Bioledex LED-Lampen. Schön, dass du dich für meinen neuen Grow interessierst. Schau mal wieder rein ✋😎

Crazy growth. Just crazy. The rest of the ladies are up on pots to try and keep the canopy as level as possible. She is super thirsty and is needing her nutrients upped. The training has really paid off, she has a cracking canopy. Looking forward to seeing her develop 😎

🌱 Week 4 - Black Diamond Auto - Plant A 8×8 Adventure | Learning What Nature Wants to Teach Another week has passed inside the 8×8 Adventure, and every day reinforces why this project is so exciting. Unlike traditional autoflower grows, every plant in this room was germinated directly under a 12/12 light schedule. There was never a long vegetative period waiting before flowering. Instead, each plant has had to build its entire structure while already living under flowering conditions. It is a technique that fascinates me because it reveals just how different every individual phenotype can be. Some decide to begin flowering almost immediately. Others invest precious time building roots and branches before finally committing to reproduction. That is exactly why every plant receives its own diary. This week belongs to Black Diamond Auto - Plant A. ⸻ 🌿 A Completely Different Personality While several sisters have already started showing obvious flowering characteristics, this lady had other plans. Instead of rushing toward bloom, she kept investing energy into building herself. The result is becoming obvious. She is developing into one of the strongest structural plants inside the room. Long internodes. Strong branches. Excellent vigor. Beautiful symmetry. She almost seems to be saying, “I’m not in a hurry… I’m building something worth waiting for.” Sometimes the slow starters end up becoming the biggest surprises. ⸻ 🌱 Why Growing Under 12/12 Is So Interesting One thing I always enjoy explaining is why this project exists in the first place. Most growers veg their plants for several weeks before switching lights to 12/12. Here, the challenge is completely different. The plants experience flowering light from the day they emerge. That means every single day matters. Every root developed… Every leaf produced… Every branch formed… …is competing against the plant’s internal biological clock. Watching each phenotype decide how it responds to that pressure is one of the most educational parts of this entire adventure. ⸻ 🌿 Gentle Training Instead of Force This week continued with very gentle Low Stress Training. Rather than forcing dramatic bends or aggressive shaping, I’m simply helping light reach every future flowering site. Leaf tucking. Soft branch positioning. Small adjustments every day. Sometimes even gently bending large fan leaves out of the way instead of removing them. At this stage every healthy leaf is still acting like a solar panel, producing energy for everything that comes next. The goal isn’t to force the plant into a shape. The goal is to guide her while allowing genetics to express themselves naturally. ⸻ 💧 A New Chapter Begins: AutoPot Time One of the biggest milestones this week is that Plant A has officially graduated into the AutoPot system. This is something I’ve been looking forward to throughout the entire grow. For anyone unfamiliar with AutoPots, they are a completely passive self-watering system. There are no pumps. No timers. No electricity controlling irrigation. Instead, everything revolves around one incredibly clever little device called the AquaValve. The AquaValve constantly monitors the water level inside the tray beneath the pot. As the plant drinks, the tray empties. Only then does the AquaValve automatically open, allowing fresh nutrient solution to refill the tray before closing again. This creates a natural wet-and-dry rhythm while giving the roots constant access to perfectly oxygenated nutrient solution whenever they need it. The plant decides when to drink. Not me. It’s a beautiful example of letting nature control the schedule. ⸻ 🔬 Why This Is Such A Fun Experiment Even more interesting… Plant A won’t be alone for long. The current plan is to compare her performance against another Black Diamond that may remain outside the AutoPot system. Same genetics. Same room. Same environment. Different irrigation method. It’s still early, so I won’t draw any conclusions yet, but this comparison could become one of the most educational parts of this entire project. Sometimes the best lessons come from simply letting the plants answer the questions for us. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment The room continues running very consistently. Environment • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 33°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 63% • ⚡ EC: 1.35 • pH: 6.1 • 💨 CO₂: 639 ppm • 💦 Solution Temperature: 26°C Even with the warmer daytime temperatures, the plants continue showing healthy metabolism and vigorous growth. ⸻ 🍽️ Feeding This Week Current nutrient program: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L The feeding remains intentionally balanced. No need to chase high EC values while the plant is still investing heavily into structural growth. Healthy roots first. Strong stems second. Flowers will come naturally. ⸻ 🌱 Looking Ahead By the end of the week, she’s finally beginning to show the first signs that flowering is approaching. Nothing explosive yet. Just those subtle little changes every grower loves spotting: slightly tighter node spacing… new vertical growth… the first hints that she’s preparing to transition. Considering the structure she’s already built, I have a feeling she could become one of the larger plants in this room. Only time will tell. And that’s half the fun. ⸻ 💚 Final Thoughts One of my favourite things about this hobby is that every plant writes its own story. We provide the environment. The nutrition. The light. The care. But ultimately, genetics decide how the story unfolds. Plant A is teaching patience. She’s showing that not every plant needs to sprint into flower to become something special. Sometimes building a strong foundation is the smartest strategy of all. I’m excited to see what she becomes over the next few weeks. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You As always, thank you to everyone following this journey. To GrowDiaries for giving growers around the world a place to document and learn together. To Plagron for providing the nutrition that keeps these ladies thriving. To FOG LEDs for delivering the photons that fuel every new leaf. To Zamnesia and the talented breeders behind these wonderful genetics. To every grower who leaves a comment, shares advice, asks questions, celebrates the victories, or learns from the mistakes. To the silent readers following along from around the world. To the supporters. To the critics. To the old friends. To the new ones joining every week. Thank you for being part of this adventure. Growers Love and see you all next week. 🌱💚

Hello everyone had to add more calmag for these ladies as they shown me that they really want it. Accept from that they have been doing extremely well they have abit more room now I've taken out the BlackBerry kush I'm hoping for a very stinky sticky harvest with lots of good smells at first the plants seems to be very picky with nutrient strength now I would say they want as much as they can possibly take showing in there leafs that they demand more calmag iron and magnesium I have givent hem this today 42 day from seed I think now the plant will concentrate on filling out those bud sights from day 60 I'm gonna lower the temperature on the room from 24 to 21 and humidity around 45% maybe 40 gonna lower the temperature of my flush water from 21 to 18c

Flowering occurs without problems. After 9-10 days, the last one is another removal of foliage and unripe inflorescences. The flowers are starting to gain volume.

Day 100 The plant has reached day 100 and is deep into the flowering stage. Buds are developing beautifully - dense, frosty, and covered in trichomes. The canopy is even and well-shaped, allowing good light penetration. The leaves are dark green and healthy, with just a slight downward curl that could indicate a bit of nutrient strength or light intensity, but nothing concerning.
