12/30 MONDAY 4am MB 4g & 0.8ml Purpinator. I tried Liquid KoolBloom, it's ok. 2pm Put the small Orion cola in a jar, not a big producer under my grow conditions but it smells and tastes just beautiful. LOTS of resin very sticky smokes just fine after hanging to dry for a couple days. 12/31 3am. 1pm took another cola from Orion about 1.5 wet so maybe half oz dry. Small grows are still the way to go for me. EVERYTHING is just so much easier, less messy. I get about the same amount from 1 gallon indoor soil grows than I did from HUGE 3 gallon fabric pots that I used Outdoor soil...infected shipped all over the country so every kind of bug.... I did NOT know to use airtight INDOOR specific soil or it will have BUGS & MITES...., like Root Mealy Bugs that will eat the roots as they grow...I didn't know that could happen!!!! 1/1 4am they are great 1/3 11 am Took the smallest cola from Cookie Apple & arranged the plants closer together. They fit like a puzzle as I take each cola & require a little less water. 1/4 2am

This week i harvested her on day 88 from seed week 13. This girl had some issues. She none the less survived long enough to finish up. Around the 2 week of flower she began burning up underneath the led's ( which don't get that hot). It's really weird, because out of 3 plants that were under the led's i run, this candy kush was the only one to react this way. I narrowed it down to this being the issue after flushing and verifying run off ph, defoliation, and nutrient decreases.She was also transplanted during preflower from a 1 gallon to a 5 gallon pot, which she took to well and really grew alot bigger from. I pulled off soooo many damaged leaves from the issues that occurred from the burning. It was so bad, i eventually built a greenhouse for her to finish up in. Although i think she could have been grown better and produced more, i cannot complain. I did oven bake some bottom branch larf buds and rolled up a sample. Of course the terpines were garbage and she tasted like shit haha, but the high was pretty good and intense! After she is done drying i will supply dry picks and weights, then she will be going into them curing jars. Oh and she was flushed for one week using only tps signal and molasses. She will indeed get another run in the future.

Still trucking along. I had my light turned up a bit high for the first week, I turned them down a few days ago and all the plants seemed to enjoy it. Nothing else to report really.

Let the flushing begin! Week 8 went well, this girl packed on the last of her weight and density. She's showing more red hairs, more color in her leaves and she's got a 60/40 mix of cloudy/clear trichomes.

The time has come!!!! I was gonna give it a couple more days but I’m too antsy and want to get this girl drying already. I will be cutting her down at the end of today she has been getting straight water these past week she isn’t getting any color just yellowing of the leaves. She smells minty when defoliating but the buds smell skunky and dank asf. Light green buds remind me of old school weed I used to smoke in HS shits amazing.

Hi Dear Friends, 👨‍🌾 👩‍🌾 Plants showed some deficiencies, but we are recovering it. I prefer to have deficiencies instead excesses.. Maybe It was better if I started a week ago to give Top Veg. It is the biggest of the cycle and it is really fast. I notice a HUGE difference compared to other plants growed under the 480w quantum board.

They look like about another month on most of them. I'm interested in how big the buds will get, I'm used to having a big main cola instead of an even canopy. The dirty aquarium water has been doing great through flowering so far, no nitrogen toxicity. 3/11/22 - Defoliated for the last time! Defoliated so there's no moisture buildup between leaves, preventing PM. There were so many leaves, it looked pretty like a beautiful bush - but my intuition told me that those are going to hold too much moisture. Now there is enough space for the buds to fill out with even airflow throughout. They don't look as beautifully full after defoliation but they'll be cleaner & easier to trim come the end of flower. Aquarium water only: 6.82pH 395 PPM 73.4⁰F Nutrients added: 5Tbsp unsulphured molasses ¼tsp raw potassium ¼tsp raw phosphorus 2Tbsp concentrate Seaweed 1tsp mycorrhizal fungi powder Aquarium water after nutrients: 5.83 pH 787 PPM 73.4⁰F

Ending the veg phase healthy and strong! Wow the garden is thriving! Started the week with a compost tea brew and wow growth exploded with vigor! By the end of the week, both Heady OG and TKO have filled in the scrog netting and the canopy is more than ready for the two-week stretch! Also slightly increased VPD levels. As for the veg tent, been on auto-pilot. Basic super-cropping and topping to keep the canopy low and even. The Heady OG and TKO clones are still rooting in the propagation dome and plan on check for roots next week. Anyways, the 12/12 flip begins tomorrow! Maximum warp Ensign! Engage!

A good problem I suppose. --- Since this is the last week of veg before flipping to flower, need to start prepping for the stretching phase. - [+00:19]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 55% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 37% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 47% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 48% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 40% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 42% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 45% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 40% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [+00:20]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Mothers are vegging along beautifully!

Nice! --- Anyways, back to the clones. --- Both clones look green, but Heady OG is still quite droopy. --- The TKO clone seems to be doing a lot better and she looks perky and healthy! --- Using a spray bottle, misted the top growth with RO water. - [+00:42]: Opened a side vent. --- Only one side vent is open. The rest are closed. --- Pots are also flood free and gnat population looks good and low. Will need to switch out the yellow sticky traps soon. - [+00:45]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

Been researching more on compost teas and with about week before the flip to flower, think it’s time to brew up some compost tea! --- Using the TeaLab brewing rig to bubble and mix the stew! --- Going to attempt to brew a fungal dominant tea using a modified compost tea recipe from Dr. Elaine Ingham. --- Unlike most compost teas, her recipe lacks molasses and sugars which promotes a more fungal dominant brew instead of anaerobic bacterial microbes. --- Okay let's start brewing! --- Assembled and installed the TeaLab brewing rig into a 5-gallon bucket and secured the unit using a garden support wire. --- Have a few empty buckets under the main brew bucket for insulation. Not really needed (pretty warm in the lung room), but why not. --- If the pump ever fails, to prevent flood-backs, made sure to place the unit above the water level and resting above the brew bucket. - [10:37]: Filled the 5-gallon bucket with 1-gallon of RO water. --- Plugging the pump in to start the bubbling! --- Have to say that the unit is a bit louder than anticipated, but wow the bubbles are quite vigorous and could not achieve the same level of aeration with air-stones. - [10:46]: Time to pre-condition the water! --- Since I'm using RO water, both chlorine and chloramine shouldn't be an issue. But to neutralize any remaining chlorine and chloramine, going to brew with humic acid for a bit. ------ Added 1/32tsp of Big 6 Micronutrients [+ Humic Acid] ------ Added 1/2tsp of Pure Protein Dry [Fish Hydrolysate Aminos] --------- [ BREWED FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES ] - [10:57]: Okay! Time for microbes and fungi! ------ Added 1/64tsp of Beauveria Bassiana Plus ------ Added 1/8tsp of: --------- Mycrobe Complete --------- Bio-Phos --------- Great White - [11:10]: Alright! Time to prep the compost bag! ------ Added 1cup of BuildASoil Worm Castings ------ Added 1tsp of: --------- Craft Blend [Nutrient Pack] --------- Ocean Blend [& Trace Minerals] --------- Kelp Meal --------- Kashi Blend --------- Premium Insect Frass [Black Soldier Fly] --- Rolled and sealed the bag before clipping to the brewing rig. - [11:26]: Covered the bucket with a towel. --- Done! --- Plan to brew for at least 8-12hrs before feeding tonight. - [18:02]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ooo yea ladies are raging in the garden! --- Ca-Caw! Heady OG is filling in the tent beautifully! --- Wow TKO is completely filled with tops and she needs to be flipped to flower! She is going to be a beast in a week! Going to be an epic flower cycle! --- Time to tuck and pluck! - [18:58]: Tucked the top growth under the scrog netting. --- Defoliated more of the larger fan leaves. --- Cleaned the bottom for both girls. --- Mulched the trimmings. --- Now both ladies have clean legs! --- Wow TKO’s main stalk is thick! Really wish I started her in a 30-gallon. Oh well. A 20-gallon should still be more than enough soil. I think. --- Anyways! - [19:25]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 49% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 37% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 47% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 48% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 42% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 40% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 40% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 41% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [19:26]: Quickly checked on the auto-watering system. --- System is still charged and no leaks or kinks found in the tubing. --- All WittFlow units are also connected. Although 2 units are getting low. - [19:42]: Okay time to feed the compost tea! --- The compost tea has been brewing for about 8hrs. --- Before feeding the tea, ------ Added 1/8tsp of: --------- Quillaja Saponaria Extract [60] --------- Recharge --------- Lotus Cal/Mag ------ Added 1tsp of Horticultural Coconut --------- [ BREWED AGAIN FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES ] - [19:57]: Okay! Tea is ready! Let’s go! --- Unhooked and removed the compost bag before squeezing the water out (best I could). - [20:15]: Emptied the compost into a plastic bin. --- Top-dressed the compost onto the top of both the 20-gallon and 30-gallon pot in the 4x4 tent. - [20:28]: Time to feed! --- Poured 6 cups straight through a plastic coffee filter and into a pump sprayer. - [20:55]: Misted the 20-gallon pot’s straw mulch. --- Sprayed the straw evenly. --- Repeated this process for the 30-gallon pot. --- Also swapped out the yellow sticky traps. --- The remaining solution (~2 cups) was poured into a pitcher and used on the house plants. --- Wow using a coffee filter has completely eliminated the clogging issue I was getting with the popcorn tea (almost bought a new pump). Will be using the filter from now on for all future teas. - [21:00]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Ooo yea! Vegging mamas are looking both flat healthy! --- Swapped out the yellow sticky traps. Pots are looking great and no signs of flooding! - [21:07]: Checked on the propagation dome, --- To refresh the air, lifted the top off for a bit. --- Growth looks green! --- Heady is droopy but leaves look healthy. --- TKO is looking perky, but does have signs of yellowing. Not too worried because this can be a sign of rooting. --- Using a spray bottle, misted the top growth with RO water. --- Opened another vent. Now both side vents are open. - [21:15]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Wow what a day! Since this was my first compost tea brew, hoping I didn’t frack anything up. --- Anyways, Onwards Ensign!

Headies is getting there! Wow the canopy is almost completely full! --- Heady OG has filled in a few more squares! Nice! --- TKO is full with tops! Wow! - [22:34]: Trained and tucked the top growth under the canopy. --- With about 5 days before the 12/12 flip, the garden is both healthy and the canopy is dense!

All mothers are vegging beautifully! --- Trained and super-cropped the top growth. Dropped the canopy down about 4-5 inches. --- Pots also look great and gnat free! - [22:48]: Checked on the propagation dome (in the 3x3), --- To refresh the air, lifted the top off for a bit. --- Clone growth is looking healthy for the most part! --- Heady OG is still completely green, but looks really droopy. --- TKO is looking nice and healthy!

I replaced the pot because it was soaked and the plant almost died. Few days later and see how this fellow is doing :) I apparently gave it a little bit too much nutrients as you can see by the burn at the end of the leaf.

🌱 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. 🌱💚
