It doesn’t look so good. Can someone tell me if i under-watered or over watered? They look sad?

Day 23 Photoshooting Topping (only left the 3. node) This plant shows an extremely high growth rate compared to Creme Caramel The final run is only carried out with one plant.

Week 02 Introduction This week has been a bit of a struggle. Had my first experience dealing with slime and brown algae. But I think adding enzymes and increasing the beneficial bacteria helped to fix the issue. Also experienced nutrient burn for the first time. My nutrient solution strength got as high as 671 PPMs. So backed it down to about 430 PPMs during the end-of-week reservoir change. Also cut Hydroguard (expired?), CaliMagic, and Superthrive from this grow. Now she's still stunted, but is starting to recover. Hopefully... [START OF WEEK 02] Day 01 - Monday - 08/10/20 - Total Days: 008 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Still looks a bit yellow. But getting larger! --- Solution strength was at 248 PPMs. --- Just topped off with a bit of distilled water --- PH went up to 6.1 so PH'd down to 5.8 --- Ran the top feed for a bit to wet the hydroton. - [2130]: She's looking even more yellow now. --- Even the new leaves are really yellow. --- Decided to add more base nutes. --- Added 4ml of Sensi A --- Added 4ml of Sensi B --- Now at about --- Solution Strength went up to 304 PPM. --- PH was at 6, --- Also raised the water level a bit more. --- I really hope it's a nutrient deficiency and not an over-watering issue. --- Please live! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/11/20 - Total Days: 009 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looking less droopy. But still yellow. --- Decided to do a reservoir change. --- 4.5gal of distilled water --- 8ml of Sensi Grow A --- 8ml of Sensi Grow B --- 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- 4ml of B-52 --- 4ml of CaliMagic --- 4ml of Hydroguard --- 4 drops of Superthrive --- PH'd down to 5.8 --- Solution strength: 302 PPM --- Since I didn't want to risk over-watering the rockwool, I did not to do a top feed, may do one tonight after the sleep cycle (lights are still set to go off at 10am and back on at 4pm). --- As I was doing a reservoir change, I noticed that the tubes and bucket were a bit slimy. Didn't really stink or anything. Is this normal? Maybe due to the Hydroguard and Voodoo Juice? --- I hope she gets better soon! - [2215]: Getting larger! But still yellow. --- Also can see a root growing through the net pot! Tiny little thing but it's there! Will have to start dropping water once more appear. --- After looking over a few DWC diaries using AN nutes, seems like my solution strength is still too low. Most around this stage average around 500 PPMs with about 4ml per gallon. --- Top fed for a minute to wet the top of the hydroton. --- Solution strength went down to 263 PPM. --- Added 8ml more of Sensi A --- Added 8ml more of Sensi B --- Now base nutes are at 16ml for 4.5 gal of water. --- PPMs went up to 411. --- Still lower than 500 PPMs, but that's okay. --- PH was at 6. Not sure if I should adjust PH using AN nutes. So going to not ajdust unless PH goes above 6.1. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/12/20 - Total Days: 010 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looks like more root growth! --- She still looks yellow. But leaves are perky. --- PH was at 6.2 so lowered down to 5.8. --- Solution strength was at 394 PPMs --- Since roots are still growing, I decide to lower the water level a bit. Now water level is a bit below the net pot. - [2200]: Root is getting longer! --- Slime is returning. Not sure why. --- Solution strength: 357 PPMs --- PH: 6.1 --- Decided to add an enzyme along with more beneficial bacteria to hopefully cure the slime. --- Added 16ml of Sensizym --- Added 5ml of Hydroguard --- Added 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- New solution strength: 430 PPMs --- New PH: 6.1 --- Top fed for a minute. --- This slimy residue is really freaking me out! I hope the added enzymes will help eliminate the slime. --- Going to do a full reservoir sterilization/nutrient change over the weekend. Please survive until then girl! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/13/20 - Total Days: 011 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: I think the enzymes worked! There is little to no slime now! --- Although I think the root was also dissolved in the process. It's now just a little stub sticking just below the net pot. The enzyme is also suppose to dissolved dead roots too but guess that root was too weak? Not sure what happened there. But I think the slime is cured! --- Solution strength went down to 395 PPMs. Decided to add more base nutrients. --- Added 8ml of Sensi A --- Added 8ml of Sensi B --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- Solution strength went up to 598 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.1 --- As long as the PH is between 5.5 and 6.3, I'm not going to use PH Up or Down. But still will monitor PH levels. - [1715]: Checked up on her after her nap and shes looking alive but stunted. But no slime! --- Decided to add some sugars to help maintain the enzymes and beneficial bacteria. --- Solution strength was at 587 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.2 --- Added 8ml of Bud Candy --- Solution strength went up to 671 PPMs. --- PH also went up to 6.3 --- Lowered water level a bit to hopefully promote more root growth. --- Top fed for a minute. --- She is getting bigger, but still looks yellow. Day 05 - Friday - 08/14/20 - Total Days: 012 ----------------------------------- - [0915]: Leaves look a little burnt on the tips. Still no slime. --- Going to back off on the PPMs to hopefully fix the nutrient toxicity. --- Solution strength was at 632 PPMs --- PH was at 6.3 --- Added/Removed water until PPMs were at 536. --- PH was still at 6.3 --- Raised water up a bit, then top fed for a minute. - [2200]: Looking better. Still yellow though. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 6.5 --- Added PH down. --- New solution strength: 518 PPMs --- New PH: 5.2 --- PH was kind of high. So decided to PH down. Had to use quite a bit to bring it down. But eventually got it to drop down to 5.3. A little low, but so far, the PH has always gone up so wanted to start it really low. --- Ran the top feed for a minute to re-saturate the top of the hydroton. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/15/20 - Total Days: 013 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: She looks stunted. leaves are still yellow. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 5.6 --- Top fed for a minute. --- Not sure what to do at this point. Going to do another reservoir change soon. Hoping she lives until then. - [2145]: Looking pretty much the same. --- A bit of slime has returned. Since I've been diluting the nutrient solution, the enzyme ratio has dropped. So I guess this is expected. --- Also noticed that slime build up was on the air-stones. Never really checked the stones so not sure how long that has been there. Looks brown too, which can't be good. --- Going to do an H202 sterilization of the system (minus the net pot) tomorrow so did not add anything. --- Lowered the water level to below the net pot. --- Then top fed for a minute. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/16/20 - Total Days: 014 ----------------------------------- - [0900]: STERILIZATION DAY! --- Decided to skip today's night cycle for a deep clean. --- I'm hoping that skipping a night cycle won't be too stressful. --- Temporarily moved her to a new bucket. --- Used about a half of gallon of straight distilled water to flush out the net pot. --- Drained the system and wiped up all the brown sludge. Also removed the air stones and cleaned up all the goo. --- Filled the system with 2 gallons of distilled water and at least 30ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide (35% strength). --- Yea its a lot, but since I'm not going to sterilize the system overnight, I went with a really high doseage. Basically I kept adding until I started to see little bubbles start to form. --- Then I ran the water pump. - [0915]: Boiled the air stones in tap water for about 10 min. Then reconnected them to the airlines. --- I let the air stones and hose soak in the sterilization solution for about 5 minutes so the peroxide can absorb into the stones. Then ran the air stone to help mix and agitate the solution. --- Occasionally, I'd repeat the process of turning the air pump off for a few minutes to let the stones soak. - [1000]: Covered the top two row of holes of the net pot with some aluminum tape. Hopefully this solves the light leaking in through the hydroton. - [1200]: Used an old toothbrush and scrubbed the pump clean. Then drained the system. --- Refilled with more distilled water and peroxide. Again added a lot. --- Ran system again to sterilize even more. - [1530]: Drained the system and refilled with distilled water to rinse. --- Ran the system for a few minutes, then drained and rinsed again. --- Did this a few more times over about an hour. - [1630]: Added 4 gallons of fresh distilled water. --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow A --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow B --- Added 12ml of B-52 --- Added 16ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 16ml Sensizym --- Solution strength was at 430 PPMs --- PH was at 5.6 --- I was going to add Hydroguard, but I think the bottle is expired. Since 2017 or 2018!? I think Hydroguard is good for up to 2 years from the date on the bottle or 6 months after opening. So not going to use from now on. I wonder if this could have contributed to the slime build up. --- Also removed the CaliMagic and Superthrive too. Going to only use AN products to eliminate the chance of incompatible nutrients. --- Placed her back in the bucket and top fed for a minute. --- Here's hoping for the best. Going to let it ride until morning! Please feel better! [END OF WEEK 02]

Wow wow wow... Apollo what have you guys made at SweetSeeds... My dear this strain is a monster and a keeper. Do you want regular-sized plants and buds in 8 weeks? No problem! Do you want plants that can handle any condition even as a noob? Check! This beast of a strain is out of this world and I'm over the moon with the results. I can't believe it. Normally I've seen auto's do 30 cms and some buds on top... This is simply alien tech... I think I have never seen any plant grow that fast... This is something to try if you haven't already... Completely amazed... And this is while making all sorts of mistakes: too hot, soil also too hot in nutes and temp, hotspots in tent by lacking fans, less PH buffer. Stuff I learned: - In my climate: at least 20 liter grow pots, maybe bigger. - Add hydro corn, I forgot this - Less bloodmeal and bonemeal - More perma tea since mine is now too old to use, it will rot the earth. - More often more water, in smaller pots - Better ventilation and routing of fresh air. - Light a little higher also during flower. - No training is needed, a little defoliation is enough. Thanks again for visiting and don't forget, these results wouldn't have been possible without my trusty SP-3000, consider to try it and see what this light does! Hug bud -

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 8 | She's Everywhere Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! And this week, I have to admit something... I have absolutely no idea where this girl is going. And I love it. 😂💚 Black Diamond Pheno A has officially reached the point where I stop trying to predict what she's going to become and simply enjoy watching her do it. Every week I think I've figured out her structure. Then she does something else. This week? She's building main-cola-sized flowers everywhere. Not just one dominant central cola. Not a huge top surrounded by little side flowers. I'm talking about substantial flowering structures developing all the way down the plant, with some of the lower flowers already starting to resemble little baseballs. And the craziest part? There is almost no popcorn. She's simply turning branch after branch into proper flowering sites. This Black Diamond is something special. 🌱 The 12/12 From Seed Adventure For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. Every plant in this project is being grown under a 12 hours on / 12 hours off light schedule from seed. There is no traditional vegetative period. No extended growth phase. No special treatment for individual phenotypes. Every plant receives the same environment, the same lighting strategy, the same feeding philosophy and the same general care. The genetics are the variable. And that's exactly what makes this experiment so fascinating. When twelve plants are given essentially the same conditions and one of them decides to become a completely different creature... that's the phenotype talking. And Black Diamond Pheno A certainly has something to say. 💎 She's Building Colas Everywhere Last week I described this plant as tall, elegant and balanced. This week? I'm starting to think "balanced" isn't quite enough anymore. At 169 cm, she has developed an incredible vertical structure with flowering sites distributed throughout the plant. But what really catches my attention is the consistency of flower development. Normally, when looking at a plant this size, you expect the hierarchy to be obvious: One main cola. A few strong secondary branches. Then progressively smaller flowers as you move down the plant. Black Diamond Pheno A seems to have decided that hierarchy is optional. Her central cola is still the largest and most obvious flower. Of course it is. But the secondary branches are not behaving like secondary flowers anymore. They're becoming colas in their own right. And even further down the plant, I'm seeing flowers developing with enough volume that calling them "lower buds" almost feels unfair. They're becoming little towers. Some are already approaching baseball-sized proportions. And there is remarkably little popcorn hiding underneath. That is what has me so excited. 🍃 Still Untouched Perhaps the most interesting part of this whole story is what hasn't happened. I haven't topped her. I haven't HST'd her. I haven't performed aggressive defoliation. I haven't stripped the interior. I haven't tried to force her into a particular shape. The only intervention has been the occasional leaf tuck when a large fan leaf was blocking a developing flower. That's it. And now I'm looking at this plant thinking... Maybe she never needed me to shape her in the first place. 😂 This is one of those grows that reminds you that sometimes genetics already have a plan. Our job isn't always to create the structure. Sometimes it's simply to provide the environment and get out of the way. ☀️ She's Eating Every Photon She Can Find And this girl certainly isn't wasting the light. Top canopy? She's using it. Inner canopy? She's using it. Lower canopy? Apparently she wants that too. And now that the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting has joined the party, I'm extremely curious to see how far this phenotype can push flower development throughout the entire vertical structure. The whole idea behind the under-canopy lighting was to give those normally shaded areas access to additional usable light. And Black Diamond Pheno A seems to have plenty of flowering real estate available to take advantage of it. She's capturing photons from above. She's capturing photons from between the branches. She's capturing photons from underneath. At this point I'm almost convinced she's going around the room looking for the last photon that hasn't been claimed yet. 😂💚 💡 Lumiflora Under-Canopy Lighting This is now becoming a particularly interesting part of the experiment. The top of the plant is obviously receiving plenty of light from the main fixtures. But look at the structure of this girl. There are flowers developing everywhere. That makes light distribution throughout the canopy increasingly important. The under-canopy lighting isn't intended to replace the primary fixtures. It's simply another layer of light reaching areas that would naturally receive less. And this is exactly the kind of plant where I want to observe the result. Will the lower flowers continue developing with impressive density? Will the middle of the plant continue filling out? Will the overall flower distribution become more uniform? We're going to find out. I'm not expecting miracles. I'm expecting observation. And that's one of the reasons this project is so much fun. 🌸 Flower Development Is Getting Serious The difference from last week is becoming very obvious. The flowers are no longer simply forming. They're building structure. Calyxes are stacking. Pistils are filling the flowers. Sugar leaves are becoming increasingly covered in visible resin. And the individual flowers are beginning to gain the shape and volume that tells you the real bulking phase is approaching. The central cola is beautiful. But honestly? I'm almost more interested in everything around it. Because when you look down the branches, you keep finding another flower. And another. And another. There is no obvious point where the plant suddenly says: "Okay, that's enough. Everything below this is popcorn." Instead, she just keeps producing. Cola after cola after cola. ❄️ The Frost Is Coming Along for the Ride Another thing becoming increasingly obvious in this week's photographs is the resin coverage. The sugar leaves are carrying a beautiful layer of visible trichomes, and the flowers themselves are becoming increasingly frosty. The close-up photographs really show it. We're still not at the final destination. There's plenty of flower maturation and swelling ahead. But Black Diamond is already giving us a preview of what she's capable of. And I have a feeling that once the flowers really start packing on weight, the visual difference could become spectacular. 💧 Feeding This Week The feeding program continues to support the increasingly demanding flowering phase. This week's recorded recipe: Plagron Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Plagron pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L Plagron Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L The nutrient solution is being maintained around pH 6.0, with the recorded EC/TDS reading at approximately 2.0 mS/cm. Watering volume is currently around 1.3 L per plant per 24 hours. And the plant is responding beautifully. No obvious signs of nutritional stress. No dramatic deficiencies. No major environmental complaints. Just growth. Flower production. And more flower production. 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The environment remains stable and consistent, which is exactly what I want during this stage. Current conditions: 🌸 Flowering: Week 8 📏 Height: 169 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 🌱 Substrate temperature: 21°C 💧 Nutrient solution temperature: 21°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm 💦 Watering: ~1.3 L/plant/24h The goal remains simple: Keep the environment stable and let the plant perform. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs might be some of my favourites of this phenotype so far. The full-plant images show just how impressive her structure has become. The close-ups tell an even better story. Everywhere you look there is another flowering site. The central cola is developing beautifully, but then you move your eyes down the plant and suddenly discover another substantial flower. And another. And another. Some of those lower flowers are already surprisingly large. The sugar leaves are carrying a beautiful layer of frost. The pistils are still predominantly fresh and white, telling us that there is plenty of development still ahead. And the most remarkable thing? This plant still hasn't been defoliated. She's lush. She's green. She's full. She's flowering everywhere. And somehow she's making it work. 🔮 Looking Ahead This is officially the part of the grow where I'm going to stop making predictions. 😂 Because every time I think I know what Black Diamond Pheno A is going to do... She proves me wrong. What I can say is that the next weeks should be fascinating. The flowers should continue swelling. The calyxes should become more pronounced. Resin production should increase. And those numerous secondary flowering structures have the potential to become some seriously impressive flowers. I'm particularly interested in watching those lower and inner flowers. Because if they continue developing at anything close to the rate we're seeing now... this plant could become an absolute monster from top to bottom. And that's without me forcing her to do it. 💎 Let Her Shine This phenotype has taught me something throughout this run. Sometimes you don't need to push a plant. You don't need to manipulate every branch. You don't need to remove every leaf. You don't need to create the structure yourself. Sometimes... you just need to give the genetics the opportunity to show you what they can do. Black Diamond Pheno A has been given that opportunity. And she's taking it. She's capturing light from the top. She's using the inner canopy. She's reaching into the lower canopy. She's taking advantage of the under-canopy lighting. She's building flowers everywhere. She's filling spaces where I expected to find popcorn. And she's doing all of this while simply being allowed to grow. At this point, I'm not trying to tell her what she should become. I'm just watching. I'm learning. And I'm enjoying the show. Because honestly... I have no idea where this girl is going. But wherever she's going... I absolutely love the direction. 💎🌱 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure. Thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a place where growers can document, compare, learn and inspire one another. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Black Diamond genetics that gave us this fascinating phenotype to follow. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the plants throughout the run. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for providing the main lighting driving this project. Thank you to Lumiflora for joining the adventure and giving us the opportunity to explore what additional under-canopy lighting can contribute to a plant with this kind of structure. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain the stable environment behind the scenes. And finally, thank you to everyone reading, commenting, asking questions and following these plants week after week. Every phenotype in the 8×8 Adventure has its own personality. But Black Diamond Pheno A? She's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. She's not making one main cola. She's making a whole collection of them. And I can't wait to see what happens next. Growers Love. 💚🌱💎

This is my last week of veg these ladies are ready to flowering ! Gave them a light defoliation to get things kicking into overdrive . They've exploded with tops since the topping that took place last week ! I'd like to thank everyone who stops by and checks out the diaries ! If you ever smashed the follow button thank you to all of you ! Remember to check my diaries daily for updates !! Started Flowering on the Saturday , the markers will be Day#1F and forward -Happy Growing

Última Semana de Crecimiento, ya cambió ahora el fotooeriodo a 12/12 y que empiece la fiesta. Subí un pelin el juicio Grow de Advanced nutrients para que arreen el último estirón. Hice un mix de podas desde la típica apical a la fim y algún lst , os iré enseñando más imágenes pero en las fotos ya se pueden apreciar. Estos clones me están sorprendiendo están estirando genial y son bastante resistentes hasta ahora no hubo ninguna plaga. La potencia del foco actualmente está funcionando a un 50% , y ya está semana que viene empezaré aplicar abonos como si fuese floración. La semana que viene volveré actualizar , la verdad que estoy pasándolo muy bien con estos 2 proyectos. Buenos humos familia 💨💨💨

This plant is in good heath but has a weird growth pattern very wild it definitely needed more like in early flower

il y a eu un pique de chaleur, depuis j'ai eu des apparitions de carences

Questa pianta è stupenda sta iniziando la fioritura me ne accorgo dalla.crescita dei rami sicuramente entrerà in fioritura a breve, ed io non vedo l'ora!!! Per adesso tutto bene !!!!

Turned today, got impatient to wait another 2 weeks 🤦🏻 Seen some discoloring heading to nutrient burn so ive corrected it all in this new top up (from today) Didnt take too much notice of the room this week, have removed one foam base from the bottom although i maybe should have left them a little closer to the light. Added CYCO Ryzofuel 0-0-0.2 Added Advanced Nute Rhinoskin 0-0-0.4 Does this literally have the same fuel?😂 Cyco runs for first 2 weeks of bloom Rhinoskin runs for 6 weeks. To add overdrive at 6 weeks to week 7 then flush week 8! Im guessing the overall BigBud is 6 to 8 weeks. I will stretch her to 8 weeks. Any tips from here onwards is appreciated 👌 Added a net but im hopeless and with big hands am prone at breaking main stems at this point once LST is applied so i might just leave it as it is until the knuckles form stronger and see how we go!
