Day 21 - ph keeps creepin higher.... check it every day... mix abit of this and that :) water level - check water temp - 18oC - check water ec/ppm - 640 - check water ph - 6.7 - check Day 22 - lookin alot better :) all looks good, the ph went high, added ph down solution..... gotta be abit more aggressive with checking and maintaining exact grow solution...... looking really good tho... and these babies have taken off... going to up the solution ppm...... regular seeds..... i think one is female and one is male........... 👍😎

We have two Zamnesia Classic Skunk photoperiod plants: this beautiful one, also grown free-range, and the other, harvested the previous week. We've separated them for convenience and to distinguish them. The main characteristic of these plants is excellent resin production, despite it being summer. This plant was left to grow simply, and after 3-4 weeks of vegetative growth, we successfully entered flowering with a beautiful main cola, excellent peripheral buds, and above all, a superb amount of resinous honey. It has beautiful, compact, and attractive flowers. The harvest looks to be around 80-100 grams. I'll let you know more about the scales. The flowers, apart from a large main cola, are well-proportioned. Growth is clearly excellent thanks to a controlled PPFD. We're providing the right amount of light at every stage and are experiencing potency spikes thanks to Zamnesia. PPFD - We achieve a PPFD of 800 μmol/m²/s (shorter plants) up to approximately 1250 μmol/m²/s, using CO2 to reduce clade formation and high-intensity lighting. Measurements taken with Phantom Photobio https://photobio.com/ Lighting - The lamp used is the fantastic Zamnesia Phytonaut 480W LED, set at 85% to provide a good average PPFD for all plants, both those closer to 20 cm (1250 μmol/m²/s) and those around 40-50 cm (750-850 μmol/m²/s). The older plants were almost done, otherwise I would have double-potted them. Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/en/14526-led-cultivation-lamp-phytonaut-480.html The cultivation system is the Zamnesia Ecosystem, complete with a powerful and modern ventilation and extraction system, a very intuitive controller, the excellent lamp mentioned above, and a grow box made of elegant and refined fabric on the outside and the highest quality on the inside. The steel frame is unmatched on the market. Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/en/531-growshop/799-grow-box-complete Links may be local; Google the products if you have trouble using them. Nutrients - We are in the final stages of using only water at the right pH, but the plant was grown with Plagron soil and basic nutrients (strictly organic) and plenty of additives, but with proper flushing. All nutrients are available on the Zamnesia website. Also check out the living substrate and fantastic new product line from Zammi. You can find this classic strain at the following link: https://www.zamnesia.io/en/3316-zamnesia-seeds-classic-skunk-feminized.html (Google it if the link doesn't work; it's a national link) Zamnesia Description: When it comes to classic strains that have shaped the modern market, Skunk undoubtedly takes the top spot. It paved the way for countless hybrids and is still considered one of the most influential strains of all time. For this reason, we decided to preserve it as it is and offer our customers Classic Skunk. Classic Skunk by Zamnesia Seeds is the quintessential Skunk, pure and simple. We haven't deviated from the original in the slightest, because, let's face it, why would we change something that already works? The result is a potent, old-school Skunk with robust genetics. The aromas and flavors of Skunk strains are so pungent that the term "skunky" has become an adjective in itself, often used to describe the aromas and flavors of other strains. And Classic Skunk is no exception! Classic Skunk delivers powerful effects, both cerebral and physical. The mind is transported elsewhere, while aches, pains, and muscle tension are pushed away from the body. The effect is extremely powerful, so be careful. This is the perfect strain to enjoy at the end of the day, when you have little to do and just want to relax. A word of warning: Skunk is a notoriously pungent strain, so keep that in mind if you plan to grow it. Install a good ventilation system to ensure maximum discretion. Classic Skunk is just that: a true classic. If you want to try a reliable and proven strain that has stood the test of time, Classic Skunk is definitely the best choice. Try this old-school strain once and you'll never want to go back. Discover the true history of traditional genetics and you won't be disappointed.

Die Woche lief sehr gut, alle Pflanzen haben gute Fortschritte gemacht und sehen meiner Meinung nach auch gesund aus 😄 das Wachstum der beiden Z-ups ist nahezu identisch und wenn ich sie mit anderen diaries vergleiche, dann finde ich das Fastbuds mal wieder einen sehr soliden Strain rausgebracht hat. Von den Mandarin Panties gibt es wenig bildliche Dokumentationen, was einen Vergleich schwer zulässt, aber ich finde den Wuchs ganz schön. Mal sehen wann die Ladies in die Blüte kommen, ich gehe ja davon aus das sie diese Woche in die Transition gehen

Buds are looking pretty. Already nice frosting of trichomes and density for small size is surprising. Have been worried about my roots and have taken all need steps to try and fix it. So far Daphni shows no signs of stress or nutrient lose. Knock on wood. Will be playing Velvet Underground for her this week. Does it make sense to cut off bad roots?

This is the whole flowering cyclus posted in one week.

Unfortunately I found bud rot, so I had to harvest without leaving the plant 2-3 days in the dark. I‘m satisfied with the harvest but I lost something like several grams at the end because of bud rot in two dense flowers.

4/15/25 This plant is blowing my freaking mind. Long stacked colas. Even the lower buds are plumping up like golf balls. This is an exceptional plant so far. Shes starting to show the classic "sherbert" purple that ive noticed shows up with anything that has sunset sherbert in the lineage. Some of the leaves are starting to fade slightly and the purple is coming in. The rs11 that this seed came from, produced the most from a single plant out of all plants ive grown and trained and kept that small. She yielded 3.5 ounces or a 1/4lb of top nugs from a plant that was only about 18 inches tall and vegged for 6 weeks before flip. Once i start to clear out all of the fan leaves later on in flower, its just going to be buds running the length of the stems 4/18/25 I really believe this may be a keeper. She is absolutely stunning. Just everything is perfect. She has super long stacking of buds up and down the stems. Im actually super stoked to see how she finishes up. One of the craziest parts is that shes in a plastic 2 or 3 gallon pot and this plant is going to yield insane.

Es läuft wunderbar! Biscotti hat ihre letzte Woche und kommt zum Wochenende, spätestens nächste Woche Dienstag ab. Der Rest steht bis zum Ende des Monats. Die beiden Neulinge machen sich gut unter 12/12. Ansonsten gibts nicht zu meckern! Freude ist groß und vorfreude noch mehr auf die neuen Sorten. Peace

🌱 Black Diamond Auto – Plant B | Week 4 | 12/12 From Seed Another Diamond Begins to Show Its Shape 💎 Welcome back to another update from my 8×8 Adventure, where every plant gets the opportunity to tell its own story. This is Black Diamond Auto – Plant B, the sister of Plant A. While they share the same genetics, the same environment, the same feeding schedule and the same light, it’s already fascinating to watch how differently they choose to grow. Plant B has developed into a much more compact structure. She isn’t chasing height like her sister—instead she’s building a dense, symmetrical framework with tight internodal spacing and a very healthy canopy. Sometimes the smallest plants surprise us the most once flowering really begins. Both plants are being grown under my favorite challenge: 12/12 from seed. For those joining the diary for the first time, this means the plants have been under a 12 hours on / 12 hours off light schedule from the day they germinated. Instead of spending weeks in vegetative growth under 18 or 20 hours of light, they naturally transition into flowering much sooner, creating unique plant structures while allowing more harvests throughout the year. Every run teaches something new, and this comparison between two sisters should be another interesting chapter. ⸻ 🌱 Environment This week the room remained very stable despite the summer temperatures. • Day temperature: 33°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 63% • pH: 6.1 • EC: 1.35 mS/cm • CO₂: 639 ppm The plants continue growing inside 15 L pots, receiving approximately 1.1 L of nutrient solution per day. ⸻ 💧 Hand-Watering vs AutoPot Unlike her sister, Plant B is still being hand-watered. Both plants receive exactly the same nutrient recipe, but the irrigation method is different. This should make for an interesting comparison later in the grow. Hand-watering gives me complete control over when and how much solution she receives, allowing the substrate to go through gentle wet and dry cycles before each irrigation. Her sister, meanwhile, is growing inside an AutoPot system. The AutoPot uses an AquaValve, a clever mechanical valve that automatically opens and closes depending on the water level inside the tray. As the plant drinks, the valve refills the tray without pumps, electricity or timers, allowing the roots to take exactly what they need whenever they need it. Will continuous bottom feeding produce faster growth than traditional hand-watering? That’s one of the questions this grow hopes to answer. ⸻ 🌿 Training No topping. No supercropping. No heavy stress. This week has been all about Low Stress Training (LST). Branches continue being gently bent outward to improve light penetration across the canopy while maintaining an even structure. Every day I spend a few minutes adjusting stems, leaf tucking large fan leaves and opening small windows of light for the developing side branches. It’s amazing how much a few careful adjustments can change the architecture of a plant without causing any significant stress. The goal is simple: * create an even canopy * expose future flowering sites * maximize airflow * let every branch earn its place under the LEDs Plant B has responded beautifully, staying compact while becoming wider with every passing day. ⸻ 🌸 The First Signs of Flower By the end of Week 4 the first pistils are finally appearing. This is always one of my favorite moments in a 12/12 from seed project. The transition happens naturally, almost quietly, until one morning those first white hairs appear and you know the next chapter has officially begun. Stretch is only beginning, but her structure suggests she’ll remain shorter and bushier than Plant A. Two sisters. Same genetics. Same room. Same nutrients. Yet completely different personalities. That’s exactly why I love documenting every individual plant. ⸻ 🍽️ Feeding This week’s recipe remained simple and consistent: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L EC remained at 1.35, with pH adjusted to 6.1 before every watering. She continues responding with vigorous growth, healthy color and strong new shoots throughout the canopy. ⸻ 📸 Final Thoughts Watching siblings develop side by side is one of the most rewarding parts of growing. Plant A seems determined to become the taller, more vigorous sister. Plant B is taking a different path—shorter, denser and incredibly well balanced. Neither is better. They’re simply expressing different sides of the same genetics, and that’s exactly what makes these side-by-side diaries so enjoyable. The stretch has only just begun, flowering is officially underway, and I’m excited to see whether hand-watering can keep pace with the AutoPot system over the coming weeks. Only time—and plenty of photos—will tell. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You As always, thank you to everyone following this adventure from around the world. To GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers can learn from one another. To Plagron for the nutrients that continue feeding this project. To the incredible breeders behind Black Diamond Auto. To the teams behind the LEDs, the equipment and every tool helping make this grow possible. And finally, thank you to every person who stops by these diaries. Whether you’ve been here since day one, discovered the journey this week, leave comments, ask questions, share advice, quietly read along, or even challenge my methods—you all contribute to making this project better. Every interaction is another opportunity to learn, improve and keep growing together. Growers Love and see you all next week. Happy growing. 🌱💚

📆 Semana 7 El cultivo entra en la fase final de engorde, con el coco estable y una absorción eficiente. La planta centra su energía en la densidad y maduración de las flores. Los cogollos siguen compactando y la capa de resina aumenta, cubriendo cada vez más las puntas y hojas cercanas. El cultivo se mantiene estable, con buen color y aromas cada vez más intensos. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Day 169. Visited my friends garden and his Royal Cookies + RQS RC looks amazing, stil packing , despite cold air in UK. My forest Hermie project goes to the end, hopefully next Wednesday and Thursday I will chop them down. Happy Growing !

I have been slightly bending and picking leaves off the original 3. The mazar that I had to start late has not been topped. I believe I am going to use this one for making my feminized seeds so I am trying to stress it the least amount possible. I am top feeding and have noticed a small amount of fungus gnats so i added a bit of diatomaceous earth to the top soil which seems to kill them instantaneously. Have not seen any since. Next week I will be putting together a DIY colloidal silver generator for the fem seeds.

Ich denke noch etwas 1 Woche 😉 Seit 1 Woche gibt es nur noch klares Wasser

Bud grossis bien odeur de fruits rouges dégage de cette magnifique spécimen.

The Girl Scout cookies of Fastbuds has not grown very high, but as we said in the past it is very regular, bonsai style, the buds are also swelling slowly but everything seems very beautiful.

Love this 1st grow. Even though its small. Hope I got good weight out of this. Smells great whenever I open my cupboard. Cant wait for my next grow green gelato auto. 😁

She's finally looking like she is close to finishing. I have cut back on watering and nutrients. She is finally exuding a wonderful fruity aroma. As you can see, she is beginning to sparkle with trichomes, both on the buds and leaves. I pruned back the remaining fan leaves in order to allow her to put all her energy into the final bud production, as well as to allow more light inside the canopy. The description said this White LSD should finish between 8 & 10 weeks. I could be wrong but, I believe she might go into the 11th week before it is time to harvest. The trichomes are approximately 20% cloudy as of today. Until next week, enjoy!
