So this weeks Been warm again. Mid 20s all the way up to mid 30s I've started to Schwazz my plants in an effort to keep the airflow along the greenhouse floor . Seems to be working so far so we will see how they start to stack up.

The N13 has grown another 10 cm she has been pruned at the bottom and starved for the last week. The N13 has grown with elongated internodes she is drinking approximately 500 ml of nutrients every other day. Her stigmas are puffing out day by day and she is beginning to give a fragrance she stands at approximately 70cm from the soi

🇩🇪🌱🍒 Woche 1 – Keimung | Cherry Limeade by Doja 🍒🍋 Eigentlich wollte ich diesen Sommer eine Indoor-Pause machen 😅. Aber ich konnte einfach nicht die Finger von meinem neuen Living-Soil-Beet lassen und musste es unbedingt ausprobieren. Außerdem bin ich schon lange auf der Jagd nach einem Strain mit einem echten Kirscharoma 🍒🤞. Die Wahl fiel deshalb auf Cherry Limeade von Doja, eine Kreuzung aus Lime Sickle und Lemon Cherry Gelato 🍋🍒. Nach nur 3,5 Tagen hat der Samen direkt im 130-Liter-Living-Soil-Beet das Licht der Welt erblickt 🌱✨. Ein besserer Start hätte kaum sein können! Die Erde wurde am 24. April selbst angemischt aus: 🔸 50 L Bio Canna Terra Plus 🔸 30 L Bimsstein 🔸 10 L Living Bio Char 🔸 10 L Reishülsen 🔸 10 L Kompost 🔸 20 L Wurmhumus 🔸 Universal Amendment Mix von Almicanna für 130 Liter 🔸 150 g Alfalfa Pellets 🌱 🔸 100 g Kelp 🌊 🔸 300 g Malted Barley 🌾 Bis auf die Bio Canna Terra Plus stammen alle Zutaten von Almicanna ❤️. Die Mischung wurde auf einer 4 × 4 m Plane vorbereitet und mit etwa 25 Litern Wasser aus dem Gloria-Drucksprüher angefeuchtet 💦. Anschließend durfte die Erde für 14 Tage abgedeckt in der Garage reifen. Danach wurde das 50 × 50 cm Almicanna-Beet befüllt und die Cover-Crop-Mischung ausgesät 🌿. Anschließend wurden SF-Nematoden von Öre Protect gegossen. Die Oberfläche bekam eine Mulchschicht aus Hanfspänen und zusätzlich zog eine Handvoll Kompostwürmer aus meiner Wurmbox ein. Nachdem das Cover Crop schön gewachsen war, wurden zwei Arten von Raubmilben eingesetzt: 🕷️ Hypoaspis miles 🕷️ Amblyseius cucumeris Das Beet durfte anschließend etwa einen Monat lang einfahren ⏳. In dieser Zeit gab es einmal selbstgemachtes Ackerschachtelhalm-Brennnessel-Ferment 🍵 und einmal Komposttee ☕. Mittlerweile ist das Bodenleben regelrecht explodiert 💥. Wenn man vorsichtig die Erde zur Seite schiebt, sieht man jede Menge Springschwänze, Würmer und Milben. Genau so habe ich mir ein lebendiges Ökosystem vorgestellt ❤️🌎. Die Bewässerung erfolgt über vier Blumat Maxi Tropfer 💧, gespeist aus einem 30-Liter-Tank. Die Bodenfeuchtigkeit überwache ich mit einem MMM TXSU Tensiometer (20 cm) und peile etwa 100 mbar in der Vegetationsphase und 120 mbar in der Blüte an 📈. Während der Sämlingsphase wird das Klima über den AC Infinity Controller im VPD-Modus geregelt 🌡️💨. Zielbereich sind 0,6–0,8 kPa. Die sanlight ist auf Stufe 2 eingestellt (200 PPFD). Vor der Aussaat wurde ein Großteil des Cover Crops kleingeschnitten und als Mulch auf dem Beet belassen 🌿✂️. Anschließend kam ein einzelner Cherry-Limeade-Samen direkt in die Mitte des Beetes. Und heute, nach nur 3,5 Tagen, hat die Kleine ihren Kopf aus der Erde gesteckt 🌱. Nach Monaten der Vorbereitung beginnt nun endlich das eigentliche Abenteuer. Ich freue mich riesig auf dieses Projekt und bin gespannt, ob mich diese Dame am Ende tatsächlich mit dem erhofften Kirscharoma belohnen wird 🍒🤞❤️. ⸻ 🇬🇧🌱🍒 Week 1 – Germination | Cherry Limeade by Doja 🍒🍋 I originally planned to take a break from indoor growing this summer 😅, but I simply couldn’t resist testing my new living soil bed. Besides that, I’ve been chasing a strain with a truly authentic cherry aroma for quite some time 🍒🤞. That’s why I chose Cherry Limeade by Doja, a cross between Lime Sickle and Lemon Cherry Gelato 🍋🍒. After just 3.5 days, the seed emerged directly in the 130-liter living soil bed 🌱✨. Couldn’t ask for a better start! The soil mix was prepared on April 24th using: 🔸 50 L Bio Canna Terra Plus 🔸 30 L pumice 🔸 10 L Living Bio Char 🔸 10 L rice hulls 🔸 10 L compost 🔸 20 L worm castings 🔸 Almicanna Universal Amendment Mix for 130 liters 🔸 150 g alfalfa pellets 🌱 🔸 100 g kelp 🌊 🔸 300 g malted barley 🌾 Everything except the Bio Canna Terra Plus came from Almicanna ❤️. The mix was prepared on a 4 × 4 m tarp and moistened with about 25 liters of water using a Gloria pressure sprayer 💦. It was then left covered in the garage for two weeks to mature. After that, the 50 × 50 cm Almicanna bed was filled and seeded with a cover crop blend 🌿. SF nematodes from Öre Protect were applied ?, followed by a hemp mulch layer and a handful of compost worms from my own worm bin. Once the cover crop was established, two beneficial predatory mite species were introduced: 🕷️ Hypoaspis miles 🕷️ Amblyseius cucumeris The bed was then allowed to cycle for about one month ⏳. During that time, it received one watering with homemade horsetail and nettle ferment 🍵 and one compost tea ☕. Soil life has absolutely exploded 💥. Every time I gently move aside the mulch, I can see countless springtails, worms and mites. Exactly what I hoped for in a thriving living soil ecosystem ❤️🌎. Watering is handled by four evenly distributed Blumat Maxi drippers 💧 connected to a 30-liter reservoir. Soil moisture is monitored with an MMM TXSU tensiometer (20 cm depth), targeting around 100 mbar during veg and 120 mbar during flower 📈. Humidity and VPD are controlled by the AC Infinity controller 🌡️💨, maintaining a VPD range of 0.6–0.8 kPa during the seedling stage. Before planting, most of the cover crop was chopped and dropped as mulch 🌿✂️. One single Cherry Limeade seed was planted directly in the center of the bed. And today, after just 3.5 days, she finally broke through the surface 🌱. After months of preparation, the real adventure finally begins. I’m incredibly excited about this grow and can’t wait to see if this lady will reward me with the authentic cherry aroma I’ve been searching for 🍒🤞❤️.

🌱 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.

Doing a lot better than I thought. Big up pyramid seeds haha getting her stretch on now after some heavy topping. She's getting there now for sure. See how these next few weeks do ✌️🏻 I've a feeling she's going going to absolutley reek too she's kicking out a pungent smell already when you get up close haha

May, 18th Amazing, thats the word that hits this Lady No big talking , just doing AMAZING!!! Started with additional Bloom Nutrients today

Week one is in the books. I planted them on directly into the substrate 11/28/22 (no germination) out of the 10 I planted 6 of them sprouted up. I'm excited for this grow because I have 3 new strains I have never grown. This is grow #7 for me going on 2 years growing straight with no break. I feel like I know what I'm doing now, but still learning everyday. Stay tuned for the progress and like always Happy Growing and may the grow goddesses bless you with a bountiful harvest!

First week of flower in the bigger tent and on the Autopot xl smart pot system. Trying a new product on this run which is rock resinator which starts on Monday. Will leave these now to grow through out each week till day 20.

UPDATE: Day 2 of week 12 - Friday 6th Nov: Nutes in today, haven’t really had to do much else, as the girls just seem to be concentrating on fattening up the buds at a nice steady pace. Oh and this week I’ve finally got a hint of a fruity tropical sweet smell from the buds.. It’s truly lush.. My thoughts are now at when to flush the ladies and how many weeks are left? I’d like to time it all perfectly but as this is my first grow now sure exactly how long they have left! Trichomes are still looking clear and pistils are still mostly white but don’t wanna get caught out and miss the best time to harvest and flush.. Keeping a close 👁️.. UPDATE: Day 4 of week 12 - Sunday 8th Nov: Nutes in again and all looking good, except for the girl that got really wilted last week, she’s doing ok but no way near as nicely developed as the other 3 girls. She has one main cola that’s taken off more than all the other colas which I think may be partly due to topping not working as well as is did on the other 3 girls, she still has one really thick stem compared to the other 3. However the wilting did really slow her down on top of that 😞.. Apart from that I’m pretty happy, Christmas 🎄 is coming and it looks like I will have my first ever home grown smoke just in time.. 🙏🏼❤️🌱 UPDATE: Day 7 of week 12 - Wednesday 11th Nov: Nutes in and a small amount of defoliation. Girls weren’t quite ready for a feed yesterday but this morning they were super thirsty and leaves 🍃 were slightly droopy, nothing major but they were all really ready for a drink. Put an extra 18w 2700k LED strip (from an impulse buy at the beginning of my grow journey) in last night to try and boost bud growth. I think my Viparspectra 300w LED alone wasn’t cutting it. I know it’s only a small increase in watts but the extra 2700k flower lighting for the last week weeks of flower can’t be a bad thing right? .. My DLI was 32 before adding the light so I hope this works positively. Looking at the girls at around 10 hrs after adding the additional LED and they look great so let’s see what happens.. ✌️🏼 & ❤️🍃🌱

Hi people! Well, after the last LST, she certainly didn’t pinpoint her final shape .. she almost covers 1 square meter .. there are very, very, very many buds! the smell of vanilla baking) is very pleasant and sweet! trichomes slowly begin to shower buds)) maybe it seems to me! but according to my observations the products of Barney Farm always give the highest result! both during growth and during flowering! at all stages! and most importantly, the resulting buds always blow away the head of any inveterate smoker !!! Barney You are the coolest !!!

Day 36, start of Week 6- Seeing good growth the last week. Had to get a new HPS bulb so stuck w the metal halide this last week till it gets here. All is good. Got a gorilla cookies that is growing uncharacteristically slowly so I decided to go a different way and run a Purple Lemonade FF in its place. Got no time for slow growers

Very

She’s getting a little bigger day by day! Popped when it was pretty cold outside, but it’s has been very hot and humid this past week—- and she loves it!

Hey Growers, End of week 10 from seed Earlier in the week I began noticing an orange color on some leaf tips, I probably overfed them nutrients so I fed them just water with a ph of 6.0 on the following feeding schedule and the leaves are looking better now. Last week a weird smell was coming out from the colas, its slowly changing. Its now starting to smell like 🍃 🍋 ⛽️ Noticed a small Increase in orange pistils I want to increase light intensity but I am worried the red stems on the top of the plant will get worst and then affect the whole plant. Only the top part of the plant has some red stems, the rest are all green. QUESTIONS How close am I from Harvesting? When should I begin flushing?

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.

Hi everyone 😁 I would like to thank you all fellow growers and breeders for such a great support on this journey. Thank you Grow Diaries and Green House Seeds. Without you all this wouldn't be possible. Love you all First ever recorded diary so don't know where to even start 😅 I am returning to growing after many many years of break. This is my first ever experience with autoflowers, scrog, lst, led and such tiny grow space. Choice of strain - Big Bang Auto from Green House Seeds. I have run so many strains from this seed bank in the past and I was always happy with the final outcome. Was looking for indica dominant strain, fast flowering cycle and very important heavy yields on small spaces. Again thank you GHSC in very happy of choosing this strain. Little bit about my cabinet. External dimensions: 64 x 50 x 114 cm (W x D x H) Growing area: 55 x 47 cm cm (0.26 m2) Panel based on SAMSUNG LM301B diodes Spectrum: Samsung LM301B – 5000 x72 Samsung LM301B – 3000k x136 Samsung LM301B – 660nm x9 Samsung LM301B – IR 760nm x1 Regulation in the range of 20W - 110W - Meanwell XLG 100-H-AB PPF 300 umol/s PPFD 890 mol/m2/s @30c Total of 6 adjustable fans, 4 exhaust fans 4 modes - silent/drying, vegetation, flowering, full power Active carbon mass in the filter 2kg Absolutely love my grow cabinet. Thinking of next build already. My grow 3 beautiful ladies - Nuna, Luna and Sweet Mary Jane. This was a pleasure experience growing autos for the first time. All 3 ladies on the end developed perfectly. Nuna, left corner lady- tall and beautiful. She had some problems to switch to flowering and was even considering removing her but very happy that I was patient enough and turned great. Luna, right corner lady - have to say she is the queen. She has the most heavy buds from all, the most. colorful. Her wet weight was 420g, can't say how much of dry but guessing approx. 100g Sweet Mary Jane, front seat lady. I think she was the most pleasant to grow of her location but due to no other spare space for drying I belive that I have harvested her at least a week to early. If keep longer I belive she could be the most yielder from all 3. Thank you all for all the support, help, comments, likes, messeges. Love you all 💚💚💚 Will update this diary in some time and when puff perfectly cured 😎 Peace and love ✌️💚

Somehow I miscalculated the days and started week 6 prematurely. I will just continue here thru to week 7 Day 32 From Seed NYD#2 Started LST. Pot was light, watered at 6.3 including Fish Sh!t. NYD#3 The pony tail backfired. The main is mangled. Despite small nodes, I started LST and watered at 6.3 including Fish Sh!t. Day 33 From Seed Did some research and found out the ponytail should only be used during the light cycle and removed for the dark period. I left it on, which caused the ugly. Lesson learned! Day34 Adjusted and added LST. Watered #2 at 6.5. #3 was still heavy, no water needed. Day 37 Watered, adjusted LST Day 39 From Seed Watered, adjusted LST. Found a bug that isn't a fungus gnats (NYD#3). Inspected both plants for more. Did a neem oil top drench and added Vicks Vapor Rub to the pot rims (bug deterrent). So raised light roughly 4 inches. Day 41 Light watering, adjusted LST ties, top drenched with Neem Oil. Added a few ounces of peroxide to the humidifier. They'll both need a top dress soon.
