Finally my QB 240W come and it's incredible bright. i flip it to 12/12 this week to make sure the small tent 90 x 90 x 180 not blowing up. after 4 day i witness good stretch from the tree and the temp also decrease to 30 celcius average. I'm happy with my grow so far hope to get 100 gram out of this harvest.

ZodaZa - Umami Seed Co. Day 81 - watered with 3L of RO tap water, with defined nutrients, mixed in order and then pHd to 6.3. 🚿 She has been working hard on bulking her flower this week and has dried back much faster compared to the previous weeks, so I've increased her water volume from 2 to 3 liters 💪🏻 I've removed a couple of her larger fan leaves to improve overall light penetration, but other than that, I'm just letting her do her thing 🙏🏻☘️

Day 21 Veg: All going good so far with the ladies. At their 5th nodes now and beginning to fill the pots out nicely too now. I have started giving them Megacrop at 1/4 strength now. nonsigns of burn or any issues Siz shooter is the smaller of the group and I have removed her 1st nodes to get her to ficus on the higher ones I won't stress her out now as she could be held back if not careful. Strawberry pie developing well amd i have now tied her main at the 5th node to slow the development and allow the other nodes to equal each other for a canopy. .This will be removed and the node allowed to continue to develop. Mexican airline had the same treatment as the pie with a tied 5th node. Her colour is perfect with no signs of any issues. We will see how the method works by the next update hopefully. fingers crossed. be well

Hello. This is the end of week 7 and the beginning of week 8 of veg. Man I started 16 regular seed to find a good male for some breeding this summer... But, I got so far... 10 females and 4 males and 2 still undecided. I was hoping for about 8 males so I could have a good choice. This happened last year too. Couldn't find a good male, so... I couldn't make any new homemade seeds. I'll check over these males in a few more weeks, to see if any of these males will be good for breeding this year. Bought a new 10x10 foot tent The other tent had a lot repairs to do. I should have cut a couple of inches off the frame so it would have been easier to do up. Probably causing some of the repairs. So I took the chop saw and cut a couple of inches off the front of the frame before I put the new tent skin on. I was tired of sewing up of zipper seams, because the sun had sun rotted the thread. And some of the reflective foil was pulling away from the canvas. Took about 4 hours to get the stuff out and the new tent on the old frame, I left the old 1 inch metal frame up. They sent a 3/4 inch metal frame, but the one that was already up was much stronger, so I keep it. What to do with the new frame??? I hope to get these plant out to the greenhouse at the end of the March and start flowering at the end of May. I can do that with my tent. And harvest in the beginning of Aug, OK Be Great. Chuck.

Plants still stretching. I cleaned the bottoms from small branches and leaves, to give more energy to main buds and to make easy trim

Se comienzan a ver los tonos morados/rojizos de esta cepa tan hermosa de Sweet Seeds, vamos en la segunda semana de floración y todo bien hasta el momento, van más lentas de lo normal en la floración pero debe ser debido a las bajas temperaturas, aún así sus colores ya se notan en estas 3 nenas. Seguimos ...

Esta produciendo muy poca resina, no estoy seguro de porque. Tengo un poco de araña roja y pulgón en los cogollos más bajeros pero no hay demasiados y se están concentrando ahí.

Some big autos! Starting to get fat now as they pack on the weight. Starting to use powdered Koolbloom half way through the week here. 1/4 teaspoon. They are getting frosty and they are beautiful. Will add new pics tonight, these are from start of the week on Saturday.

The first week of flowering!!!😍😍 Wow, how attractive!! It is very attractive to me. How about you??🌱🌱🌱🌱 Please coment to me!! I changed the light cycle this week. I changed the lighting time from 18 hours to 12 hours. I feel that after doing this, the plant will grow faster in the flowering stage!!! This week I used short flowering feeding

On 7th day of flowering we removed lower little branches and made some lollipopping on the plants. Also we made some defoliation on gelatos cause they were very bushy but almost removed only biggest fan leaf. As plants were bigger enough we started adding granural mineral NPK 12-18-23 1 g/L and CalMag Xtra by advanced nutrients 1mL/L to the solution.

Day 40-47 (May 31st- June 7th) (Day 41) For the first time in this grow these plants are looking halfway decent. Smell is ramping up too. I finally feel optimistic about this grow. (Day 42) The two jacks and the chunky blueberry are showing early signs of N/Mg deficiencies. I know it’s late in flower but since I’m experimenting with this tent, I’m going to give them one final feeding of nature’s pride 2-5-5.5 (tbsp) along with a teaspoon of oyster shell flour and some rock dust. Everything else I’m going to give a teaspoon of rock dust and oyster shell. There is no way these amendments will fully break down in time to be used by the plant but they could at least use the pH buffering and trace amounts of minerals after their recent leach. Everything but the BAOGC is covered in pistils that don’t really match their bud size. I hope they fill into their pistils because an over abundance of hairs drops the bag appeal like crazy. Over the last few cycles, indoor and outdoor, I’ve definitely learned that different strains and phenotypes mature at different times. Sometimes really radically too. (Day 43) None of the plants are fading at all but they’re still looking good. Black garlic I know should be fading but remains dark green and toxed. I popped a developing seed out of the main bud too. I wonder if that blueberry herm branch pollinated it at all. It seems like plants don’t really like that Destiny dark matter soil by itself. I find it works better mixed with coco or promix 1:1. (Day 44) I’m starting to think I might be mixing up the TWOG and BAOGC. BAOGC took forever to fatten up last round and the 2 phenos I suspected already look done. I was thrown off by the similar terps. The beauty phenos are definitely TWOG (Day 45) God these Jack Herer’s smell good. Nothing but fruity funk. Almost like a vanilla or blueberry yogurt. I would say this stuff has the most overpowering smell in the tent now. I’ve noticed they’re starting to foxtail like crazy. Blueberry#1 too. I’m watering a final low strength feeding of seaweed extract on everything. (Day 47) Everything really fattened up this week. Even at the beginning of the week I was saying I didn’t think they would fill out. Jack Herer and BAOGC specifically made some big gains and nearly doubled their density and still have quite a way to go on them too! The smell has ramped up and finally, everything is looking happy and healthy.

🌱 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. 🌱💚
